This  Harmony,  like  the  small  Outline  Handbook  of  the  Life  of  Christ 
which  preceded  it,  is  intended  to  promote  and  facilitate  the  historical  study  of 
the  gospels.  The  Life  of  Christ  is  now  engaging  the  attention  of  Biblical 
scholars  to  a  remarkable  degree.  In  the  decades  that  followed  the  publication 
of  Strauss’s  Life  of  Jesus  in  1835  the  literature  of  the  subject  was  chiefly 
controversial.  An  apologetic  motive  was  manifestly  dominant  in  the  power¬ 
ful  works  of  Neander,  Ebrard,  and  Lange.  At  present  it  is  the  subject  itself 
that  commands  attention.  There  is  a  deepening  conviction  that  in  Biblical 
science,  and  indeed  in  Christian  theology  as  a  whole,  the  study  of  the  Life  of 
Christ  should  be  made  primary  and  central.  Books  upon  the  subject  are 
increasing  in  number.  But  it  is  to  be  remembered  that  the  principal  text¬ 
book  is  the  fourfold  gospel.  The  study  of  the  Life  of  Christ  is  primarily  the 
historical  study  of  the  four  gospels,  which  implies  the  tracing  of  the  events 
they  narrate  in  their  chronological  sequence  and  in  their  organic  connection. 
For  this  purpose  a  constant  comparison  of  the  four  narratives  is  necessary,  and 
0  a  synopsis  or  harmony  becomes  in  the  very  nature  of  the  case  indispensable. 

In  accordance  with  current  usage  we  have  used  the  title  “Harmony,” 
although,  as  frequently  happens  with  technical  terms,  it  is  likely  to  convey  to 
the  general  reader  a  sense  not  intended.  To  some  it  may  perhaps  require 
explanation  that  the  proper  object  of  a  harmony  of  the  gospels  is  not  to 
harmonize  them,  if  by  that  is  meant  bringing  them  into  agreement.  It  is 
simply  an  arrangement  by  which  the  corresponding  parts  of  different  docu¬ 
ments  may  be  brought  together  before  the  eye  and  compared — a  method  not 
peculiar  to  Biblical  study,  but  familiar  to  all  students  of  literary  and  historical 
x  documents. 

Accordingly  we  have  made  no  attempt  to  harmonize  what  is  not  har- 
monious,  but  simply  to  exhibit  the  facts.  Whatever  discrepancies  the  four 
n  narratives  contain,  we  have  preferred  to  let  the  printed  page  display  them 


>

PREFACE  TO  THE  FIRST  EDITION 


equally  with  the  agreements,  rather  than  adopt  an  arrangement  or  a  dissection 
which  should  withdraw  them  from  view.  Wherein  the  four  writers  differ,  and 
how  they  differ,  is  precisely  what  the  intelligent  reader  wishes  to  know;  even¬ 
tually  he  comes  to  value  their  writings  even  more  for  their  differences  than  for 
their  verbally  exact  agreements. 

Still  it  is  not  to  be  forgotten  that  thus  far  every  effort  to  accentuate  their 
disagreement  has  only  strengthened  the  impression  of  their  concord  as 
historical  documents.  The  most  powerful  of  all  arguments  for  the  substantial 
truthfulness  of  the  witnessing  evangelists  is  to  be  found  in  the  self-consistency 
and  verisimilitude  of  the  history,  when  exhibited  in  a  harmony  constructed 
according  to  the  principles  indicated  in  this  preface.  If,  after  a  century  of 
modern  criticism  of  the  gospels,  it  is  found  that,  despite  all  differences,  the 
four  mutually  supplement  and  mutually  interpret  one  another,  so  that  from 
their  complex  combination  there  emerges  one  narrative,  outlining  a  distinct 
historical  figure,  and  producing  upon  the  mind  an  irresistible  impression  of 
reality,  it  is  difficult  to  imagine  a  more  convincing  attestation  of  the  records  on 
which  the  Christian  church  bases  its  faith  in  the  person  and  work  of  its 
Founder  than  is  furnished  by  this  very  fact. 

If  it  be  asked  what  distinctive  features  the  present  Harmony  possesses  to 
justify  the  adding  of  another  to  the  already  long  list  of  books  of  this  general 
class,  the  answer  must  be  found,  if  at  all,  in  the  following  three  characteristics, 
which  have  been  partly  indicated  above:  (1)  It  is  planned  with  special 
reference  to  the  historical  study  of  the  gospels,  rather  than  to  the  minute 
verbal  comparison  of  parallel  sections.  (2)  It  endeavors,  while  exhibiting  the 
parallelism  of  the  gospels,  paragraph  by  paragraph,  at  the  same  time  to 
preserve,  as  far  as  is  consistent  with  this  endeavor,  the  structure  and  pecul¬ 
iarities  of  the  several  gospels;  aiming  not  to  indicate  the  solution  of  all 
harmonistic  problems,  but,  as  far  as  is  possible  consistently  with  the  construc¬ 
tion  of  a  harmony  at  all,  to  leave  all  these  problems  where  the  gospels  them¬ 
selves  leave  them.  (3)  It  is  designed  to  render  special  assistance  in  the  study 
of  Christ’s  discourses  and  sayings,  and  this  both  in  respect  to  the  individual 
unity  of  the  reports  of  them,  and  in  respect  to  the  parallelism  of  these  reports 
one  with  another.

PREFACE  TO  THE  FIRST  EDITION 


We  have  spoken  of  certain  new  features  of  the  book  as  marking  its  indi¬ 
viduality,  and  in  a  measure  justifying  its  appearance.  We  do  not,  however, 
forget  that  in  every  true  book  it  is  the  old  that  is  best.  If  a  correct  historical 
combination  of  the  gospels  is  approximately  possible  today,  it  is  because 
Christian  scholarship,  from  Tatian’s  Diatessaron  down,  has  contributed 
toward  its  production.  We  have  sought  to  use  all  accessible  helps,  ancient 
and  modern.  Our  greatest  debt  to  contemporary  works  of  similar  pur¬ 
pose  with  our  own  is,  first,  to  the  Harmony  of  Edward  Robinson,  and, 
next,  to  the  Life  of  Our  Lord  by  Samuel  J.  Andrews,  a  work  into  which  has 
gone  a  lifetime  of  scholarly  research,  and  to  which  all  students  of  the  Life  of 
Christ  are  under  large  obligation.  Equally  great  is  our  debt,  though  of  a 
different  kind,  to  the  two  volumes  of  V/estcott  and  Hort’s  Greek  New  Testa¬ 
ment,  particularly  for  the  light  they  have  thrown  on  the  textual  character  and 
structural  peculiarities  of  the  gospel  histories.  Nor  can  we  fail  to  acknowledge, 
though  without  singling  out  individual  names,  our  indebtedness  to  those 
scholars  who  have  labored  in  the  solution  of  the  intricate  question  known  as 
the  synoptic  problem.  So  intimate  is  the  relation  between  this  problem  and 
that  of  the  harmony  that  the  two  must  almost  of  necessity  be  carried  toward 
their  final  solution  together.  To  Rev.  Erastus  Blakeslee  of  Boston  is  due 
the  acknowledgment  that  but  for  his  suggestion  and  urgency  we  should 
•scarcely  have  undertaken  the  publication  of  this  result  of  our  study  of  the 
gospel  history  at  this  time,  and  that  in  the  perfecting  of  the  nomenclature  of 
the  Analytical  Outline,  particularly  of  the  chapter-divisions,  we  are  indebted 
to  him  for  valuable  suggestions. 

In  so  far  as  the  present  work  shall  contribute  to  the  right  understanding 
of  the  relations  of  the  gospels  to  one  another,  and  more  especially  to  a  right 
apprehension  of  the  life  and  teachings  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  the  object  in 
view  in  its  preparation  will  have  been  attained.

PREFACE  TO  THE  THIRD  EDITION. 


The  present  edition  represents  a  thorough  revision,  and  is  printed  from 
new  plates.  The  book  has,  however,  undergone  no  radical  change  in  form  or 
character.  The  alterations  are  chiefly  due  to  a  more  thorough  application  of 
the  principles  in  accordance  with  which  the  first  edition  was  constructed.  We 
have  from  the  beginning  regarded  it  as  our  fundamental  task  to  exhibit  the 
testimony  of  the  evangelists  themselves.  Our  object  has  been,  not  by 
ingenuity  to  devise  an  order  of  events  seemingly  more  probable  than  that  of 
the  evangelists,  but  with  the  utmost  possible  fidelity,  consistently  with  the 
construction  of  a  harmony  at  all,  to  present  the  history  as  they  narrate  it,  both 
in  matter  and  order.  Without  assuming  that  this  order  is  for  Biblical  science 
a  finality,  we  yet  recognize  that  it  must  be  the  basis  of  any  effort  to  reproduce 
the  chronological  order  of  the  events  in  the  life  of  Jesus,  holding  as  we  do 
that  the  gospel  narratives  are  not  mere  collections  of  detached  reminiscences, 
but  are  rather  material  from  which  the  sequences  of  history  are  approximately 
recoverable. 

While  seeking  to  apply  the  principle  above  stated  even  more  consistently 
and  thoroughly  than  in  the  first  edition,  we  have  also  endeavored  to  avoid 
unnecessary  changes,  having  regard  to  those  studies  in  the  Life  of  Christ 
which  have  been  based  on  the  first  edition  of  the  Harmony. 

The  number  and  order  of  sections  remain  unchanged. 

A  change  affecting  the  content  of  sections  29,  30  was  made  in  the  revised 
edition  of  1902.  Changes  of  a  similar  character  have  in  this  edition  been 
made  in  sections  52,  55,  87,  94. 

Changes  of  title  have  been  made  in  sections  94,  95,  127. 

A  slight  rearrangement  of  paragraphs  has  been  made  in  section  133,  the 
Last  Supper. 

In  three  instances,  affecting  six  sections  (27,  36,  55,  62,  87,  121), 
narratives  similar  to  those  constituting  the  proper  content  of  the  section,  but 

vii 


PREFACE  TO  THE  THIRD  EDITION 


assigned  to  a  different  position  by  the  evangelist  recording  them,  have  been 
printed  in  parallel  columns,  being  set  in  smaller  type  and  inclosed  in  brackets 
to  indicate  that  they  are  presented  at  this  point  for  purposes  of  comparison  only. 

The  list  of  the  Repeated  Sayings  of  Christ  has  been  still  further  enlarged. 
In  a  few  cases  we  have  availed  ourselves  of  a  blank  space  in  one  of  the  columns 
of  the  page  to  print  certain  of  the  longer  of  these  sayings  in  a  form  more 
convenient  for  their  detailed  comparison. 

A  third  margin  has  been  added  to  the  page,  showing  the  renderings 
adopted  in  the  text  of  the  American  Revised  Version  of  1901. 

In  the  interest  of  simplicity,  a  slight  change  has  been  made  in  the  use  of 
brackets. 

Fuller  explanation  of  all  these  matters  will  be  found  in  Appendix  I  in 
connection  with  the  detailed  statement  of  the  principles  and  methods  followed 
in  the  construction  of  the  Harmony,  which  in  the  first  edition  was  included  in 
the  Preface. 

The  material  which,  originally  appearing  in  the  “Handbook  of  the  Life 
of  Christ,”  no  longer  in  print,  was  transferred  to  this  book  in  the  revised 
edition  of  1902,  is  retained  in  the  present  edition,  constituting  Appendices 
IV,  V,  VI.

PART  I. 


THE  THIRTY  YEARS  OF  PRIVATE  LIFE. 

From  the  Birth  of  Jesus  until,  the  Coming  of  John  the  Baptist. 


§  1.  PROLOGUE  OF  JOHN’S  GOSPEL. 

John  1 : 1-18. 

1  In  the  beginning  was  the  Word,  and  the  Word  was  with  God,  and  the  Word  was  God. 
2  The  same  was  in  the  beginning  with  God.  3  All  things  were  made  1  by1  him  ;  and  without 
him  2  was  not  anything  made  that  hath  been  made.  4  In  him  was  life  ;  and  the  life  was  the 
light  of  men.  5  And  the  light  shineth  in  the  darkness;  and  the  darkness  3 apprehended  it 
not.  6  There  came  a  man,  sent  from  God,  whose  name  was  John.  7  The  same  came  for 
witness,  that  he  might  bear  witness  of  the  light,  that  all  might  believe  through  him.  8  He 
was  not  the  light,  but  came  that  he  might  bear  witness  of  the  light.  9  4  There  was  the  true 
light,  even  the  light  which  lighteth  6  every  man,  coming  into  the  world.  10  He  was  in  the 
world,  and  the  world  was  made  Jby*  him,  and  the  world  knew  him  not.  11  He  came  unto 
6  his  own,  and  they  that  were  his  own  received  him  not.  12  But  as  many  as  received  him,  to 
them  gave  he  the  right  to  become  children  of  God,  even  to  them  that  believe  on  his  name : 
13  which2  were  7 born,  not  of  8 blood,  nor  of  the  will  of  the  flesh,  nor  of  the  will  of  man,  but 
of  God.  14  And  the  Word  became  flesh,  and  9  dwelt  among  us  (and  we  beheld  his  glory, 
glory  as  of  10  the  only  begotten  from  the  Father),  full  of  grace  and  truth.  15  John  beareth 
witness  of  him,  and  crieth,  saying, 11  This  was  he  of  whom  I  said,  He  that  cometh  after  me  is 
become  before  me:  for  he  was  12  before  me.  16  For  of  his  fulness  we  all  received,  and  grace 
for  grace.  17  For  the  law  was  given  1by1  Moses;  grace  and  truth  came  7by4  Jesus  Christ. 
18  No  man  hath  seen  God  at  any  time ;  13  the  only  begotten  Son,  which2  is  in  the  bosom  of 
the  Father,  he  hath  declared  him. 

§  2.  PREFACE  OF  LUKE’S  GOSPEL. 

Luke  1 : 1-4. 

1  Forasmuch  as  many  have  taken  in  hand  to  draw  up  a  narrative  concerning  those 
matters  which  have  been  14 fulfilled  among  us,  2  even  as  they  delivered  them  unto  us,  which2 
from  the  beginning  were  eyewitnesses  and  ministers  of  the  word,  3  it  seemed  good  to  me 
also,  having  traced  the  course  of  all  things  accurately  from  the  first,  to  write  unto  thee  in

Luke  1 : 5-25. 

5  There  was  in  the  days  of  Herod,  king  of  Judaea,  a  certain  priest  named  Zacharias,  of 
the  course  of  Abijah :  and  he  had  a  wife  of  the  daughters  of  Aaron,  and  her  name  was 
Elisabeth.  6  And  they  were  both  righteous  before  God,  walking  in  all  the  commandments 
and  ordinances  of  the  Lord  blameless.  7  And  they  had  no  child,  because  that  Elisabeth  was 
barren,  and  they  both  were  now  6  well  stricken  in  years.

THE  THIRTY  YEARS  OF  PRIVATE  LIFE 


Luke  1. 

8  Now  it  came  to  pass,  while  he  executed  the  priest’s  office  before  God  in  the  order  of  his 
course,  9  according  to  the  custom  of  the  priest’s  office,  his  lot  was  to  enter  into  the  1  temple 
of  the  Lord  and  burn  incense.  10  And  the  whole  multitude  of  the  people  were  praying  without 
at  the  hour  of  incense.  11  And  there  appeared  unto  him  an  angel  of  the  Lord  standing  on 
the  right  side  of  the  altar  of  incense.  12  And  Zacharias  was  troubled  when  he  saw  him ,  and 
fear  fell  upon  him.  13  But  the  angel  said  unto  him,  Fear  not,  Zacharias  :  because  thy  sup¬ 
plication  is  heard,  and  thy  wife  Elisabeth  shall  bear  thee  a  son,  and  thou  shalt  call  his  name 
John.  14  And  thou  shalt  have  joy  and  gladness  ;  and  many  shall  rejoice  at  his  birth.  15  For 
he  shall  be  great  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord,  and  he  shall  drink  no  wine  nor  2  strong  drink ;  and 
he  shall  be  filled  with  the  3  Holy  Ghost1,  even  from  his  mother’s  womb.  16  And  many  of  the 
children  of  Israel  shall  he  turn  unto  the  Lord  their  God.  17  And  he  shall  4 go  before  his 
face  in  the  spirit  and  power  of  Elijah,  to  turn  the  hearts  of  the  fathers  to  the  children,  and 
the  disobedient  to  walk  in  the  wisdom  of  the  just;  to  make  ready  for  the  Lord  a  people 
prepared  for  him.  18  And  Zacharias  said  unto  the  angel,  Whereby  shall  I  know  this?  For 
I  am  an  old  man,  and  my  wife  5  well  stricken  in  years.  19  And  the  angel  answering  said  unto 
him,  I  am  Gabriel,  that  stand  in  the  presence  of  God ;  and  I  was  sent  to  speak  unto  thee, 
and  to  bring  thee  these  good  tidings.  20  And  behold,  thou  shalt  be  silent  and  not  able  to 
speak,  until  the  day  that  these  things  shall  come  to  pass,  because  thou  believedst  not  my 
words,  which  shall  be  fulfilled  in  their  season.  21  And  the  people  were  waiting  for  Zacharias, 
and  they  marvelled  6  while  he  tarried  in  the  1  temple.  22  And  when  he  came  out,  he  could 
not  speak  unto  them  :  and  they  perceived  that  he  had  seen  a  vision  in  the  1  temple  :  and  he 
continued  making  signs  unto  them,  and  remained  dumb.  23  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the 
days  of  his  ministration  were  fulfilled,  he  departed  unto  his  house. 

24  And  after  these  days  Elisabeth  his  wife  conceived ;  and  she  hid  herself  five  months, 
saying,  25  Thus  hath  the  Lord  done  unto  me  in  the  days  wherein  he  looked  upon  me,  to 
take  away  my  reproach  among  men. 

§  5.  THE  ANNUNCIATION  TO  MARY. 

Luke  1 : 26-38. 

26  Now  in  the  sixth  month  the  angel  Gabriel  was  sent  from  God  unto  a  city  of  Galilee, 
named  Nazareth,  27  to  a  virgin  betrothed  to  a  man  whose  name  was  Joseph,  of  the  house  of 
David ;  and  the  virgin’s  name  was  Mary.  28  And  he  came  in  unto  her,  and  said,  Hail,  thou 
that  art  7  highly  favoured,  the  Lord  is  with  8  thee.  29  But  she  was  greatly  troubled  at  the 
saying,  and  cast  in  her  mind  what  manner  of  salutation  this  might  be.  30  And  the  angel 
said  unto  her,  Fear  not,  Mary  :  for  thou  hast  found  9  favour  with  God.  31  And  behold,  thou 
shalt  conceive  in  thy  womb,  and  bring  forth  a  son,  and  shalt  call  his  name  Jesus.  32  He 
shall  be  great,  and  shall  be  called  the  Son  of  the  Most  High  :  and  the  Lord  God  shall  give 
unto  him  the  throne  of  his  father  David  :  33  and  he  shall  reign  over  the  house  of  Jacob  10  for 
ever ;  and  of  his  kingdom  there  shall  be  no  end.  34  And  Mary  said  unto  the  angel,  How 
shall  this  be,  seeing  I  know  not  a  man?  35  And  the  angel  answered  and  said  unto  her,  The 
Holy  Ghost1  shall  come  upon  thee,  and  the  power  of  the  Most  High  shall  overshadow  thee : 
wherefore  also  11  that  which  12 is  to  be  13  born  shall  be  called  holy,  the  Son  of  God2.  36  And

MARY'S  VISIT  TO  ELISABETH 


§7 


Luke  1. 

behold,  Elisabeth  thy  kinswoman,  she  also  hath  conceived  a  son  in  her  old  age  :  and  this  is 
the  sixth  month  with  her  that  1  was  called  barren.  37  For  no  word  from  God  shall  be  void 
of  power.  38  And  Mary  said,  Behold,  the  2 handmaid  of  the  Lord;  be  it  unto  me  according 
to  thy  word.  And  the  angel  departed  from  her. 


§  6.  THE  ANNUNCIATION  TO  JOSEPH. 

Matt.  1 : 18-25. 

18  Now  the  3 birth  4 of  Jesus  Christ  was  on  this  wise:  When  his  mother  Mary  had  been 
betrothed  to  Joseph,  before  they  came  together  she  was  found  with  child  of  the  6  Holy 
Ghost1.  19  And  Joseph  her  husband,  being  a  righteous  man,  and  not  willing  to  make  her 
a  public  example,  was  minded  to  put  her  away  privily.  20  But  when  he  thought  on  these 
things,  behold,  an  angel  of  the  Lord  appeared  unto  him  in  a  dream,  saying,  Joseph,  thou  son 
of  David,  fear  not  to  take  unto  thee  Mary  thy  wife :  for  that  which  is  6  conceived  in  her  is  of 
the  Holy  Ghost1.  21  And  she  shall  bring  forth  a  son  ;  and  thou  shalt  call  his  name  Jesus  ; 
for  it  is  he  that  shall  save  his  people  from  their  sins.  22  Now  all  this  is  come  to  pass,  that  it 
might  be  fulfilled  which  was  spoken  by  the  Lord  through  the  prophet,  saying, 

23  Behold,  the  virgin  shall  be  with  child,  and  shall  bring  forth  a  son, 

And  they  shall  call  his  name  7  Immanuel ; 

which  is,  being  interpreted,  God  with  us.  24  And  Joseph  arose  from  his  sleep,  and  did  as 
the  angel  of  the  Lord  commanded  him,  and  took  unto  him  his  wife ;  25  and  knew  her  not  till 
she  had  brought  forth  a  son  :  and  he  called  his  name  Jesus. 


§  7.  MARY’S  VISIT  TO  ELISABETH. 

Luke  1 : 39-56. 

39  And  Mary  arose  in  these  days  and  went  into  the  hill  country  with  haste,  into  a  city  of 
Judah ;  40  and  entered  into  the  house  of  Zacharias  and  saluted  Elisabeth.  41  And  it  came 
to  pass,  when  Elisabeth  heard  the  salutation  of  Mary,  the  babe  leaped  in  her  womb ;  and 
Elisabeth  was  filled  with  the  Holy  Ghost1 ;  42  and  she  lifted  up  her  voice  with  a  loud  cry, 
and  said,  Blessed  art  thou  among  women,  and  blessed  is  the  fruit  of  thy  womb.  43  And 
whence  is  this  to  me,  that  the  mother  of  my  Lord  should  come  unto  me?  44  For  behold, 
when  the  voice  of  thy  salutation  came  into  mine  ears,  the  babe  leaped  in  my  womb  for  joy. 
45  And  blessed  is  she  that 8  believed ;  for  there  shall  be  a  fulfilment  of  the  things  which  have 
been  spoken  to  her  from  the  Lord.  46  And  Mary  said, 

My  soul  doth  magnify  the  Lord, 

47  And  my  spirit  hath  rejoiced  in  God  my  Saviour. 

48  For  he  hath  looked  upon  the  low  estate  of  his  9  handmaiden 2 : 

For  behold,  from  henceforth  all  generations  shall  call  me  blessed. 

49  For  he  that  is  mighty  hath  done  to  me  great  things ; 

And  holy  is  his  name. 

50  And  his  mercy  is  unto  generations  and  generations 
On  them  that  fear  him.

51  He  hath  shewed  strength  with  his  arm ; 

He  hath  scattered  the  proud  1  in  the  imagination  of  their  heart. 

52  He  hath  put  down  princes  from  their  thrones, 

And  hath  exalted  them  of  low  degree. 

53  The  hungry  he  hath  filled  with  good  things ; 

And  the  rich  he  hath  sent  empty  away. 

54  He  hath  holpen1  Israel  his  servant, 

That  he  might  remember  mercy 

55  (As  he  spake  unto  our  fathers) 

Toward  Abraham  and  his  seed  for  ever. 

66  And  Mary  abode  with  her  about  three  months,  and  returned  unto  her  house. 


§  8.  BIRTH  OF  JOHN  THE  BAPTIST. 

Luke  1 : 57-80. 

57  Now  Elisabeth’s  time  was  fulfilled  that  she  should  be  delivered ;  and  she  brought 
forth  a  son.  58  And  her  neighbours  and  her  kinsfolk  heard  that  the  Lord  had  magnified  his 
mercy  towards  her ;  and  they  rejoiced  with  her.  59  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the  eighth  day, 
that  they  came  to  circumcise  the  child ;  and  they  would  have  called  him  Zacharias,  after 
the  name  of  his  father.  60  And  his  mother  answered  and  said,  Not  so;  but  he  shall  be 
called  John.  61  And  they  said  unto  her,  There  is  none  of  thy  kindred  that  is  called  by  this 
name.  62  And  they  made  signs  to  his  father,  what  he  would  have  him  called.  63  And  he 
asked  for  a  writing  tablet,  and  wrote,  saying,  His  name  is  John.  And  they  marvelled  all. 
64  And  his  mouth  was  opened  immediately,  and  his  tongue  loosed ,  and  he  spake,  blessing 
God.  65  And  fear  came  on  all  that  dwelt  round  about  them :  and  all  these  sayings  were 
noised  abroad  throughout  all  the  hill  country  of  Judeea.  66  And  all  that  heard  them  laid 
them  up  in  their  heart,  saying,  What  then  shall  this  child  be?  For  the  hand  of  the  Lord 
was  with  him. 

67  And  his  father  Zacharias  was  filled  with  the  Holy  Ghost2,  and  prophesied,  saying, 

68  Blessed  he  the  Lord,  the  God  of  Israel ; 

For  he  hath  visited  and  wrought  redemption  for  his  people, 

69  And  hath  raised  up  a  horn  of  salvation  for  us 
In  the  house  of  his  servant  David 

70  (As  he  spake  by  the  mouth  of  his  holy  prophets  which 3  have  been  since  the  world 

began4), 

71  Salvation  from  our  enemies,  and  from  the  hand  of  all  that  hate  us ; 

72  To  shew  mercy  towards  our  fathers, 

And  to  remember  his  holy  covenant ; 

73  The  oath  which  he  sware  unto  Abraham  our  father, 

74  To  grant  unto  us  that  we  being  delivered  out  of  the  hand  of  our  enemies 
Should  serve  him  without  fear, 

75  In  holiness  and  righteousness  before  him  all  our  days. 

76  Yea  and  thou,  child,  shalt  be  called  the  prophet  of  the  Most  High  : 

For  thou  shalt  go  before  the  face  of  the  Lord  to  make  ready  his  ways ;

his  shewing  unto  Israel. 

§9.  BIRTH  OF  JESUS  THE  CHRIST. 


•"Matt.  1 : 18-25.1 
r18  Now  the  4  birth  5  of 


Jesus  Christ  was  on  this  wise: 
When  his  mother  Mary  had 
been  betrothed  to  Joseph, 
before  they  came  together 
she  was  found  with  child  of 
the  6 Holy  Ghost1.  19  And 
Joseph  her  husband,  being  a 
righteous  man,  and  not  willing 
to  make  her  a  public  example, 
was  minded  to  put  her  away 
privily.  20  But  when  he 
thought  on  these  things,  be¬ 
hold,  an  angel  of  the  Lord 
appeared  unto  him  in  a  dream, 
saying,  Joseph,  thou  son  of 
David,  fear  not  to  take  unto 
thee  Mary  thy  wife  :  for  that 
which  is  7  conceived  in  her  is 
of  the  Holy  Ghost1.  21  And 
she  shall  bring  forth  a  son ; 
and  thou  shalt  call  his  name 
Jesus  ;  for  it  is  he  that  shall 
save  his  people  from  their  sins. 

22  Now  all  this  is  come  to 
pass,  that  it  might  be  fulfilled 
which  was  spoken  by  the  Lord 
through  the  prophet,  saying, 

23  Behold,  the  virgin  shall  be 

with  child,  and  shall 
bring  forth  a  son, 

And  they  shall  call  his 
name  8  Immanuel ; 


Luke  2:1-7. 

1  Now  it  came  to  pass  in 
those  days,  there  went  out  a 
decree  from  Caesar  Augustus, 
that  all  9  the  world  should  be 
enrolled.  2  This  was  the  first 
enrolment  made  when  Quiri- 
nius  was  governor  of  Syria. 
3  And  all  went  to  enrol  them¬ 
selves,  every  one  to  his  own 
city.  4  And  Joseph  also  went 
up  from  Galilee,  out  of  the  city 
of  Nazareth,  into  Judaea,  to  the 
city  of  David,  which  is  called 
Bethlehem,  because  he  was  of 
the  house  and  family  of  David ; 
5  to  enrol  himself  with  Mary, 
who  was  betrothed  to  him, 
being  great  with  child.  6 
And  it  came  to  pass,  while 
they  were  there,  the  days 
were  fulfilled  that  she  should 
be  delivered.  7  And  she 
brought  forth  her  firstborn 
son  ;  and  she  wrapped  him  in 
swaddling  clothes,  and  laid 
him  in  a  manger,  because 
there  was  no  room  for  them 
in  the  inn.

him  his  wife ;  25  and  knew  her

§  10.  THE  ANGELS  AND  THE  SHEPHERDS. 

Luke  2 : 8-20. 

8  And  there  were  shepherds  in  the  same  country  abiding  in  the  field,  and  keeping  1  watch 
by  night  over  their  flock.  9  And  an  angel  of  the  Lord  stood  by  them,  and  the  glory  of  the  Lord 
shone  round  about  them  :  and  they  were  sore  afraid.  10  And  the  angel  said  unto  them,  Be 
not  afraid  ;  for  behold,  I  bring  you  good  tidings  of  great  joy  which  shall  be  to  all  the  people  : 

11  for  there  is  born  to  you  this  day  in  the  city  of  David  a  Saviour,  which1  is  2  Christ  the  Lord. 

12  And  this  is  the  sign  unto  you  :  Ye  shall  find  a  babe  wrapped  in  swaddling  clothes,  and  lying 
in  a  manger.  13  And  suddenly  there  was  with  the  angel  a  multitude  of  the  heavenly  host 
praising  God,  and  saying, 

14  Glory  to  God  in  the  highest, 

And  on  earth  3  peace  among  4  men  in  whom  he  is  well  pleased. 

15  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the  angels  went  away  from  them  into  heaven,  the  shepherds 
said  one  to  another,  Let  us  now  go  even  unto  Bethlehem,  and  see  this  5  thing  that  is  come  to 
pass,  which  the  Lord  hath  made  known  unto  us.  16  And  they  came  with  haste,  and  found 
both  Mary  and  Joseph,  and  the  babe  lying  in  the  manger.  17  And  when  they  saw  it  they 
made  known  concerning  the  saying  which  was  spoken  to  them  about  this  child.  18  And  all 
that  heard  it  wondered  at  the  things  which  were  spoken  unto  them  by  the  shepherds.  19  But 
Mary  kept  all  these  6  sayings,  pondering  them  in  her  heart.  20  And  the  shepherds  returned, 
glorifying  and  praising  God  for  all  the  things  they  had  heard  and  seen,  even  as  it  was  spoken 
unto  them. 

§11.  THE  CIRCUMCISION. 

Luke  2:21. 

21  And  when  eight  days  were  fulfilled  for  circumcising  him,  his  name  was  called  Jesus, 
which  was  so  called  by  the  angel  before  he  was  conceived  in  the  womb. 

§  12.  THE  PRESENTATION  IN  THE  TEMPLE. 

Luke  2:22-39. 

22  And  when  the  days  of  their  purification  according  to  the  law  of  Moses  were  fulfilled, 
they  brought  him  up  to  Jerusalem,  to  present  him  to  the  Lord  23  (as  it  is  written  in  the  law 
of  the  Lord,  Every  male  that  openeth  the  womb  shall  be  called  holy  to  the  Lord),  24  and  to

offer  a  sacrifice  according  to  that  which  is  said  in  the  law  of  the  Lord,  A  pair  of  turtledoves, 
or  two  young  pigeons.  25  And  behold,  there  was  a  man  in  Jerusalem,  whose  name  was 
Simeon  ;  and  this  man  was  righteous  and  devout,  looking  for  the  consolation  of  Israel :  and 
the  Holy  Spirit  was  upon  him.  26  And  it  had  been  revealed  unto  him  by  the  Holy  Spirit, 
that  he  should  not  see  death,  before  he  had  seen  the  Lord’s  Christ.  27  And  he  came  in  the 
Spirit  into  the  temple  :  and  when  the  parents  brought  in  the  child  Jesus,  that  they  might  do 
concerning  him  after  the  custom  of  the  law,  28  then  he  received  him  into  his  arms,  and 
blessed  God,  and  said, 

29  Now  lettest  thou  thy  Servant  depart,  O1  2  Lord, 

According  to  thy  word,  in  peace  ; 

30  For  mine  eyes  have  seen  thy  salvation, 

31  Which  thou  hast  prepared  before  the  face  of  all  peoples  ; 

32  A  light  for  3  revelation  to  the  Gentiles, 

And  the  glory  of  thy  people  Israel. 

33  And  his  father  and  his  mother  were  marvelling  at  the  things  which  were  spoken  concern¬ 
ing  him  ;  34  and  Simeon  blessed  them,  and  said  unto  Mary  his  mother,  Behold,  this  child  is 
set  for  the  falling  and  rising  up  of  many  2  in  Israel ;  and  for  a  sign  which  is  spoken  against ; 
35  yea  and  a  sword  shall  pierce  through  thine  own  soul ;  that  thoughts  out  of  many  hearts 
may  be  revealed.  36  And  there  was  one  Anna,  a  prophetess,  the  daughter  of  Phanuel,  of  the 
tribe  of  Asher  (she  was  4  of  a  great  age,  having  lived  with  a  husband  seven  years  from  her 
virginity,  37  and  she  had  been  a  widow  even  for3  fourscore  and  four  years),  which4  departed 
not  from  the  temple,  worshipping  with  fastings  and  supplications  night  and  day.  38  And 
coming  up  at  that  very  hour  she  gave  thanks  unto  God,  and  spake  of  him  to  all  them  that 
were  looking  for  the  redemption  of  Jerusalem.  39  And  when  they  had  accomplished  all 
things  that  were  according  to  the  law  of  the  Lord,  they  returned  into  Galilee,  to  their  own 
city  Nazareth. 


§  13.  THE  WISE-MEN  FROM  THE  EAST. 

Matt.  2 : 1-12. 

1  Now  when  Jesus  was  born  in  Bethlehem  of  J udsea  in  the  days  of  Herod  the  king,  behold, 
5  wise  men5  from  the  east  came  to  Jerusalem,  2  saying, 6  Where  is  he  that  is  born  King  of 
the  Jews  ?  for  we  saw  his  star  in  the  east,  and  are  come  to  worship  him.  3  And  when  Herod 
the  king  heard  it,  he  was  troubled,  and  all  Jerusalem  with  him.  4  And  gathering  together 
all  the  chief  priests  and  scribes  of  the  people,  he  inquired  of  them  where  the  Christ  should 
be  born.  5  And  they  said  unto  him,  In  Bethlehem  of  Judaea  :  for  thus  it  is  written  7  by  6  the 
prophet, 

6  And  thou  Bethlehem,  land  of  Judah, 

Art  in  no  wise  least  among  the  princes  of  Judah  : 

For  out  of  thee  shall  come  forth  a  governor, 

Which 7  shall  be  shepherd  of  my  people  Israel. 

7  Then  Herod  privily  called  the  5 wise  men5,  and  learned  of  them  carefully8  8 what  time  the 
star  appeared.  8  And  he  sent  them  to  Bethlehem,  and  said,  Go  and  search  out  carefully8 
concerning  the  young  child ;  and  when  ye  have  found  Mm ,  bring  me  word,  that  I  also  may

come  and  worship  him.  9  And  they,  having  heard  the  king,  went  their  way ;  and  lo,  the  star, 
which  they  saw  in  the  east,  went  before  them,  till  it  came  and  stood  over  where  the  young 
child  was.  10  And  when  they  saw  the  star,  they  rejoiced  with  exceeding  great  joy.  11  And 
they  came  into  the  house  and  saw  the  young  child  with  Mary  his  mother ;  and  they  fell 
down  and  worshipped  him ;  and  opening  their  treasures  they  offered  unto  him  gifts,  gold 
and  frankincense  and  myrrh.  12  And  being  warned  of  God  in  a  dream  that  they  should  not 
return  to  Herod,  they  departed  into  their  own  country  another  way. 


§  14.  THE  FLIGHT  INTO  EGYPT  AND  RETURN  TO  NAZARETH. 

Matt.  2:13-23. 

13  Now  when  they  were  departed,  behold,  an  angel  of  the  Lord  appeareth  to  Joseph  in  a 
dream,  saying,  Arise  and  take  the  young  child  and  his  mother,  and  flee  into  Egypt,  and  be 
thou  there  until  I  tell  thee  :  for  Herod  will  seek  the  young  child  to  destroy  him.  14  And  he 
arose  and  took  the  young  child  and  his  mother  by  night,  and  departed  into  Egypt ;  15  and 
was  there  until  the  death  of  Herod  :  that  it  might  be  fulfilled  which  was  spoken  by  the  Lord 
through  the  prophet,  saying,  Out  of  Egypt  did  I  call  my  son.  16  Then  Herod,  when  he  saw 
that  he  was  mocked  of  the  1  wise  men J,  was  exceeding  wroth,  and  sent  forth,  and  slew  all  the 
male  children  that  were  in  Bethlehem,  and  in  all  the  borders  thereof,  from  two  years  old  and 
under,  according  to  the  time  which  he  had  carefully2  learned  of  the  1  wise  men1.  17  Then 
was  fulfilled  that  which  was  spoken  2  by 3  Jeremiah  the  prophet,  saying, 

18  A  voice  was  heard  in  Ramah, 

Weeping  and  great  mourning, 

Rachel  weeping  for  her  children  ; 

And  she  would  not  be  comforted,  because  they  are  not. 

19  But  when  Herod  was  dead,  behold,  an  angel  of  the  Lord  appeareth  in  a  dream  to 
Joseph  in  Egypt,  20  saying,  Arise  and  take  the  young  child  and  his  mother,  and  go  into  the 
land  of  Israel :  for  they  are  dead  that  sought  the  young  child’s  life.  21  And  he  arose  and 
took  the  young  child  and  his  mother,  and  came  into  the  land  of  Israel.  22  But  when  he 
heard  that  Archelaus  was  reigning  over  Judaea  in  the  room  of  his  father  Herod,  he  was 
afraid  to  go  thither ;  and  being  warned  of  God  in  a  dream,  he  withdrew  into  the  parts  of 
Galilee,  23  and  came  and  dwelt  in  a  city  called  Nazareth  :  that  it  might  be  fulfilled  which 
was  spoken  2  by 3  the  prophets,  that  he  should  be  called  a  Nazarene.

§  16.  VISIT  TO  JERUSALEM  WHEN  TWELVE  YEARS  OLD. 

Luke  2 : 41-50. 

41  And  his  parents  went  every  year  to  Jerusalem  at  the  feast  of  the  passover.  42  And 
when  he  was  twelve  years  old,  they  went  up  after  the  custom  of  the  feast ;  43  and  when  they 
had  fulfilled  the  days,  as  they  were  returning,  the  boy  Jesus  tarried  behind  in  Jerusalem; 
and  his  parents  knew  it  not ;  44  but  supposing  him  to  be  in  the  company,  they  went  a  day’s 
journey;  and  they  sought  for  him  among  their  kinsfolk  and  acquaintance:  45  and  when 
they  found  him  not,  they  returned  to  Jerusalem,  seeking  for  him.  46  And  it  came  to  pass, 
after  three  days  they  found  him  in  the  temple,  sitting  in  the  midst  of  the  3  doctors2,  both 
hearing  them,  and  asking  them  questions :  47  and  all  that  heard  him  were  amazed  at  his

mother  said  unto  him,  4  Son,  why  hast  thou  thus  dealt  with  us?  behold,  thy  father  and  I 
sought  thee  sorrowing.  49  And  he  said  unto  them,  How  is  it  that  ye  sought  me?  wist3  ye 
not  that  I  must  be  5 in  my  Father’s  house?  50  And  they  understood  not  the  saying  which,

among  his  own  kin,  and  in  his  own  house.  5  And  he  could  there  do  no  mighty  work,  save  that  he  laid  his

Jerusalem. 


§  18.  THE  MINISTRY  OF  JOHN  THE  BAPTIST. 


Matt.  3 : 1-12. 

1  And  in  those  days  com- 
eth  John  the  Baptist,  preach¬ 
ing  in  the  wilderness  of  Judaea, 

2  saying,  Repent  ye ;  for  the 
kingdom  of  heaven  is  at  hand. 

3  For  this  is  he  that  "was 
spoken  of  ^y1  Isaiah  the 
prophet,  saying, 

The  voice  of  one  crying  in 
the  wilderness, 

Make  ye  ready  the  way  of 
the  Lord, 

Make  his  paths  straight. 

4  Now  John  himself  had  his 
raiment  of  camel’s  hair,  and 
a  leathern  girdle  about  his 
loins;  and  his  food  was  locusts 
and  wild  honey.  5  Then  went 
out  unto  him  Jerusalem,  and 
all  Judsea,  and  all  the  region 
round  about  Jordan2;  6  and 
they  were  baptized  of  him  in 
the  river  Jordan,  confessing 
their  sins.

Who  shall  prepare  thy

Make  his  paths  straight ; 
4  John  came,  who  baptized  in 
the  wilderness  and  preached 
the  baptism  of  repentance 
unto  remission  of  sins.  5  And 
there  went  out  unto  him  all 
the  country  of  Judaea,  and  all 
they  of  Jerusalem  ;  and  they 
were  baptized  of  him  in  the 
river  Jordan,  confessing  their 
sins.  6  And  John  was  clothed 
with  camel’s  hair,  and  had 
a  leathern  girdle  about  his

Matt.  3. 


7  But  when  he 
saw  many  of  the  Pharisees 
and  Sadducees  coming  to  his 
baptism,  he  said  unto  them, 
Ye*  offspring  of  vipers,  who 
warned  you  to  flee  from  the 
wrath  to  come?  8  Bring  forth 
therefore  fruit  worthy  of 
Repentance:  9  and  think  not 
to  say  within  yourselves,  We 
have  Abraham  to  our  father  : 
for  I  say  unto  you,  that  God 
is  able  of  these  stones  to  raise 
up  children  unto  Abraham. 
10  And  even  now  is  the  axe 
laid  unto1  the  root  of  the 
trees :  every  tree  therefore 
that  bringeth  not  forth  good 
fruit  is  hewn  down,  and  cast 
into  the  fire. 


11  I  indeed  bap¬ 
tize  you  2  with 2  water  unto 
repentance :  but  he  that 
cometh  after  me  is  mightier

6  And  all  flesh  shall  see  the

7  He  said  therefore  to  the 
multitudes  that  went  out  to  be 
baptized  of  him,  Ye  offspring 
of  vipers,  who  warned  you  to 
flee  from  the  wrath  to  come? 

8  Bring  forth  therefore  fruits 
worthy  of  1  repentance,  and 
begin  not  to  say  within  your¬ 
selves,  We  have  Abraham  to 
our  father:  for  I  say  unto  you, 
that  God  is  able  of  these 
stones  to  raise  up  children 
unto  Abraham.  9  And  even 
now  is  the  axe  also  laid  unto1 
the  root  of  the  trees :  every 
tree  therefore  that  bringeth 
not  forth  good  fruit  is  hewn 
down,  and  cast  into  the  fire. 
10  And  the  multitudes  asked 
him,  saying,  What  then  must 
we  do?  11  And  he  answered 
and  said  unto  them,  He  that 
hath  two  coats,  let  him  impart 
to  him  that  hath  none ;  and 
he  that  hath  food,  let  him  do 
likewise.  12  And  there  came 
also  3  publicans  to  be  bap¬ 
tized,  and  they  said  unto  him, 
4 Master3,  what  must  we  do? 
13  And  he  said  unto  them,  Ex¬

is  appointed  you.  14  And 
5  soldiers  also  asked  him,  say¬ 
ing,  And  we,  what  must  we

Do  violence  to  no  man4,  nei¬

fully;  and  be  content  with

him,  Suffer  4  it  now:  for

sufferethhim.  16  And  Jesus,

from  Nazareth  of  Galilee,  and 
was  baptized  of  John  6  in  the 
Jordan.  10  And  straightway 
coming  up  out  of  the  water,  he

he  began  to  teach ,  was  about 
thirty  years  of  age,1  (§  3) 


Matt.  4 : 1-11. 

1  Then  was  Jesus  led  up  of 
the  Spirit  into  the  wilderness 
to  be  tempted  of  the  devil. 

2  And  when  he  had  fasted 
forty  days  and  forty  nights,  he 
afterward  hungered.  3  And 
the  tempter  came  and  said 
unto  him,  If  thou  art  the  Son 
of  God,  command  that  these 
stones  become  2  bread.  4  But 
he  answered  and  said,  It  is 
written,  Man  shall  not  live  by 
bread  alone,  but  by  every  word 
that  proceedeth  out  of  the 
mouth  of  God.  5  Then  the 
devil  taketh  him  into  the  holy 
city;  and  he  set  him  on  the

charge  concerning  thee : 

And  on1  their  hands  they 
shall  bear  thee  up,

Luke  4 : 1-13. 

1  And  Jesus,  full  of  the 
Holy  Spirit,  returned  from  the 
Jordan,  and  was  led  4  by 3  the 
Spirit  in  the  wilderness  2  dur¬ 
ing  forty  days,  being  tempted 
of  the  devil.  And  he  did  eat 
nothing  in  those  days :  and 
when  they  were  completed,  he 
hungered.  3  And  the  devil 
said  unto  him,  If  thou  art  the 
Son  of  God,  command  this 
stone  that  it  become  5  bread. 
4  And  Jesus  answered  unto 
him,  It  is  written,  Man  shall 
not  live  by  bread  alone.  5  And 
he  led  him  up,  and  shewed 
him  all  the  kingdoms  of  6  the 
world  in  a  moment  of  time. 
6  And  the  devil  said  unto  him, 
To  thee  will  I  give  all  this 
authority,  and  the  glory  of 
them  :  for  it  hath  been  deliv¬

soever  I  will  I  give  it.  7  If 
thou  therefore  wilt  worship 
before  me,  it  shall  all  be  thine.

John  1 : 19-28. 

19  And  this  is  the  witness  of  John,  when  the  Jews  sent  unto  him  from  Jerusalem  priests 
and  Levites  to  ask  him,  Who  art  thou?  20  And  he  confessed,  and  denied  not;  and  he  con¬ 
fessed,  I  am  not  the  Christ.  21  And  they  asked  him,  What  then?  Art  thou  Elijah?  And 
he  saith,  I  am  not.  Art  thou  the  prophet?  And  he  answered,  No.  22  They  said  therefore 
unto  him,  Who  art  thou?  that  we  may  give  an  answer  to  them  that  sent  us.  What  sayest 
thou  of  thyself?  23  He  said,  I  am  the  voice  of  one  crying  in  the  wilderness,  Make  straight 
the  way  of  the  Lord,  as  said  Isaiah  the  prophet.  24  3  And  they  had  been  sent  from  the 
Pharisees.  25  And  they  asked  him,  and  said  unto  him,  Why  then  baptizest  thou,  if  thou 
art  not  the  Christ,  neither  Elijah,  neither  the  prophet?  26  John  answered  them,  saying,  I 
baptize  4 with 2  water:  in  the  midst  of  you  standeth  one  whom  ye  know  not,  27  even  he 
that  cometh  after  me,  the  latchet  of  whose  shoe  I  am  not  worthy  to  unloose.  28  These 
things  were  done  in  5 Bethany  beyond  Jordan3,  where  John  was  baptizing.

29  On  the  morrow  he  seeth  Jesus  coming  unto  him,  and  saith,  Behold,  the  Lamb  of  God, 
which4  6taketh  away  the  sin  of  the  world  !  30  This  is  he  of  whom  I  said,  After  me  cometh  a 

man  which4  is  become  before  me:  for  he  was  7 before  me.  31  And  I  knew  him  not;  but 
that  he  should  be  made  manifest  to  Israel,  for  this  cause  came  I  baptizing  4  with 2  water.

35  Again  on  the  morrow  John  was  standing,  and  two  of  his  disciples  ;  36  and  he  looked 
upon  Jesus  as  he  walked,  and  saith,  Behold,  the  Lamb  of  God!  37  And  the  two  disciples 
heard  him  speak,  and  they  followed  Jesus.  38  And  Jesus  turned,  and  beheld  them  following, 
and  saith  unto  them,  What  seek  ye?  And  they  said  unto  him,  Rabbi  (which  is  to  say, 
being  interpreted,  2 Master2),  where  abidest  thou?  39  He  saith  unto  them,  Come,  and  ye 
shall  see.  They  came  therefore  and  saw  where  he  abode ;  and  they  abode  with  him  that 
day :  it  was  about  the  tenth  hour.  40  One  of  the  two  that  heard  John  speak ,  and  followed 
him,  was  Andrew,  Simon  Peter’s  brother.  41  He  findeth  first  his  own  brother  Simon,  and 
saith  unto  him,  We  have  found  the  Messiah  (which  is,  being  interpreted,  3  Christ).  42  He 
brought  him  unto  Jesus.  Jesus  looked  upon  him,  and  said,  Thou  art  Simon  the  son  of 
4 John:  thou  shalt  be  called  Cephas  (which  is  by  interpretation,  5Peter). 

§  24.  PHILIP  AND  NATHANAEL. 

John  1 : 43-51. 

43  On  the  morrow  he  was  minded  to  go  forth  into  Galilee,  and  he  findeth  Philip :  and 
Jesus  saith  unto  him,  Follow  me.  44  Now  Philip  was  from  Bethsaida,  of  the  city  of  Andrew 
and  Peter.  45  Philip  findeth  Nathanael,  and  saith  unto  him,  We  have  found  him,  of  whom 
Moses  in  the  law,  and  the  prophets,  did  write3,  Jesus  of  Nazareth,  the  son  of  Joseph.  46  And 
Nathanael  said  unto  him,  Can  any  good  thing  come  out  of  Nazareth?  Philip  saith  unto 
him,  Come  and  see.  47  Jesus  saw  Nathanael  coming  to  him,  and  saith  of  him,  Behold,  an 
Israelite  indeed,  in  whom  is  no  guile!  48  Nathanael  saith  unto  him,  Whence  knowest  thou 
me?  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  him,  Before  Philip  called  thee,  when  thou  wast  under 
the  fig  tree,  I  saw  thee.  49  Nathanael  answered  him,  Rabbi,  thou  art  the  Son  of  God ;  thou 
art  King  of  Israel.  50  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  him,  Because  I  said  unto  thee,  I  saw 
thee  underneath  the  fig  tree,  belie  vest  thou?  thou  shalt  see  greater  things  than  these.  51 
And  he  saith  unto  him,  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you,  Ye  shall  see  the  heaven  opened,  and 
the  angels  of  God  ascending  and  descending  upon  the  Son  of  man. 

§25.  THE  FIRST  MIRACLE:  WATER  MADE  WINE. 

John  2 : 1-11. 

1  And  the  third  day  there  was  a  marriage  in  Cana  of  Galilee;  and  the  mother  of  Jesus 
was  there:  2  and  Jesus  also  was  bidden,  and  his  disciples,  to  the  marriage.  3  And  when 
the  wine  failed,  the  mother  of  Jesus  saith  unto  him,  They  have  no  wine.  4  And  Jesus  saith

saith  unto  the  servants,  Whatsoever  he  saith  unto  you,  do  it.  6  Now  there  were  six  water- 
pots  of  stone  set  there  after  the  Jews’  manner  of  purifying,  containing  two  or  three  firkins 
apiece.  7  Jesus  saith  unto  them,  Fill  the  waterpots  with  water.  And  they  filled  them  up  to 
the  brim.  8  And  he  saith  unto  them,  Draw  out  now,  and  bear  unto  the  1  ruler  of  the  feast. 
And  they  bare  it.  9  And  when  the  ruler  of  the  feast  tasted  the  water  2  now  become  wine, 
and  knew  not  whence  it  was  (but  the  servants  which1  had  drawn  the  water  knew),  the  ruler 
of  the  feast  calleth  the  bridegroom,  10  and  saith  unto  him,  Every  man  setteth  on  first  the 
good  wine ;  and  when  men  have  drunk  freely,  then  that  which  is  worse  :  thou  hast  kept  the 
good  wine  until  now.  11  This  beginning  of  his  signs  did  Jesus  in  Cana  of  Galilee,  and  mani¬ 
fested  his  glory ;  and  his  disciples  believed  on  him.

§  27.  FIRST  CLEANSING  OF  THE  TEMPLE. 


[Matt.  21 : 12-17.  And 
Jesus  entered  into  the 
temple  1  of  God,  and  cast 
out  all  them  that  sold 
and  bought  in  the  tem¬ 
ple,  and  overthrew  the 
tables  of  the  money¬ 
changers,  and  the  seats 
of  them  that  sold  the 
doves;  13  and  he  saith 
unto  them,  It  is  written, 
My  house  shall  be 
called  a  house  of  prayer : 
but  ye  make  it  a  den  of 
robbers.  14  And  the 
blind  and  the  lame  came 
to  him  in  the  temple: 
and  he  healed  them .  15 
But  when  the  chief 
priests  and  the  scribes 
saw  the  wonderful 
things  that  he  did,  and 
the  children  that  were 
crying  in  the  temple  and 
saying,  Hosanna  to  the 
son  of  David ;  they  were 
moved  with  indignation, 
16  and  said  unto  him, 
Hearest  thou  what  these 
are  saying?  And  Jesus 
saith  unto  them,  Tea:

and  he  entered  into  the 
temple,  and  began  to 
cast  out  them  that  sold 
and  them  that  bought  in 
the  temple,  and  over¬ 
threw  the  tables  of  the 
money-changers,  and 
the  seats  of  them  that 
sold  the  doves ;  16  and 
he  would  not  suffer  that 
any  man  should  carry  a 
vessel  through  the  tem¬ 
ple.  17  And  he  taught, 
and  said  unto  them,  Is 
it  not  written,  My  house 
shall  be  called  a  house 
of  prayer  for  all  the  na¬ 
tions?  but  ye  have  made 
it  a  den  of  robbers.  18 
And  the  chief  priests 
and  the  scribes  heard  it, 
and  sought  how  they 
might  destroy  him :  for 
they  feared  him,  for  all 
the  multitude  was  aston¬ 
ished  at  his  teaching.] 
(§121) 


[Luke  19 :  45-48.  And 
he  entered  into  the  tem¬

out  them  that  sold,  46 
saying  unto  them,  It  is 
written,  And  my  house 
shall  be  a  house  of

made  it  a  den  of  robbers. 

47  And  he  was  teach¬ 
ing  daily  in  the  temple. 
But  the  chief  priests  and 
the  scribes  and  the  prin¬ 
cipal  men  of  the  people 
sought  to  destroy  him: 
48  and  they  could  not 
find  what  they  might  do ; 
for  the  people  all  hung 
upon  him,  listening.] 
(§121) 


John  2:13-22. 

13  And  the  passover 
of  the  Jews  was  at 
hand,  and  Jesus  went 
up  to  Jerusalem.  14 
And  he  found  in  the 
temple  those  that  sold 
oxen  and  sheep  and 
doves,  and  the  chan¬ 
gers  of  money  sitting : 
15  and  he  made  a 
scourge  of  cords,  and 
cast  all  out  of  the 
temple,  both  the 
sheep  and  the  oxen ; 
and  he  poured  out  the 
changers’  money,  and 
overthrew  their  ta¬ 
bles;  16  and  to  them 
that  sold  the  doves 
he  said,  Take  these 
things  hence ;  make 
not  my  Father’s  house

dise.  17  His  disciples 
remembered  that  it 
was  written,  The  zeal 
of  thine1  house  shall

Jews  therefore  an¬

him,  What  sign  shew-

answered  and  said

it  up.  20  The  Jews 
therefore  said,  Forty 
and  six  years  was 
this  1  temple  in  build¬ 
ing,  and  wilt  thou 
raise  it  up  in  three 
days  ?  21  But  he

this ;  and  they  be¬

and  the  word  which 
Jesus  had  said. 


§  28.  DISCOURSE  WITH  NICODEMUS. 

John  2 :  23 — 3 : 21 

2:23  Now  when  he  was  in  Jerusalem  at  the  passover,  during  the  feast,  many  believed  on 
his  name,  beholding  his  signs  which  he  did.  24  But  Jesus  did  not  trust  himself  unto  them, 
for  that  he  knew  all  men,  25  and  because  he  needed  not  that  any  one  should  bear  witness 
concerning  2  man  ;  for  he  himself  knew  what  was  in  man. 

3 : 1  Now  there  was  a  man  of  the  Pharisees,  named  Nicodemus,  a  ruler  of  the  Jews  :  2  the 
same  came  unto  him  by  night,  and  said  to  him,  Rabbi,  we  know  that  thou  art  a  teacher  come 
from  God  :  for  no  man 1  can  do  these  signs  that  thou  doest,  except  God  be  with  him.  3  Jesus 
answered  and  said  unto  him,  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  thee,  Except  a  man2  be  born  3 anew, 
he  cannot  see  the  kingdom  of  God.  4  Nicodemus  saith  unto  him,  How  can  a  man  be  born 
when  he  is  old?  can  he  enter  a  second  time  into  his  mother’s  womb,  and  be  born?  5  Jesus 
answered,  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  thee,  Except  a  man2  be  born  of  water  and  the  Spirit, 
he  cannot  enter  into  the  kingdom  of  God.  6  That  which  is  born  of  the  flesh  is  flesh  ;  and 
that  which  is  born  of  the  Spirit  is  spirit.  7  Marvel  not  that  I  said  unto  thee,  Ye  must  be 
born  3  anew.  8  4  The  wind  bloweth  where  it  listeth3,  and  thou  hearest  the  voice  thereof,  but 
knowest  not  whence  it  cometh,  and  whither  it  goeth  :  so  is  every  one  that  is  born  of  the 
Spirit.  9  Nicodemus  answered  and  said  unto  him,  How  can  these  things  be?  10  Jesus 
answered  and  said  unto  him,  Art  thou  the  teacher  of  Israel,  and  understandest  not  these 
things?  11  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  thee,  We  speak  that4  we  do5  know,  and  bear  witness

JOHN'S  TESTIMONY  TO  CHRIST  AT  JENON 


§30 


John  3. 

of  that 1  we  have  seen  ;  and  ye  receive  not  our  witness.  12  If  I  told  you  earthly  things,  and 
ye  believe  not,  how  shall  ye  believe,  if  I  tell  you  heavenly  things?  13  And  no  man2  hath 
ascended  into  heaven,  but  he  that  descended  out  of  heaven, even  the  Son  of  man,  1  which3  is 
in  heaven.  14  And  as  Moses  lifted  up  the  serpent  in  the  wilderness,  even  so  must  the  Son  of 
man  be  lifted  up  :  15  that  whosoever  2believeth  may  in  him  have  eternal  life. 

16  For  God  so  loved  the  world,  that  he  gave  his  only  begotten  Son,  that  whosoever 
believeth  on  him  should  not  perish,  but  have  eternal  life.  17  For  God  sent  not  the  Son  into 
the  world  to  judge  the  world ;  but  that  the  world  should  be  saved  through  him.  18  aHe  that 
believeth  on  him  is  not  judged  :  he  that  believeth  not  hath  been  judged  already,  because  he 
hath  not  believed  on  the  name  of  the  only  begotten  Son  of  God.  19  And  this  is  the  judgement, 
that  the  light  is  come  into  the  world,  and  men  loved  the  darkness  rather  than  the  light ;  for 
their  works  were  evil.  20  For  every  one  that  3doeth  ill4  hateth  the  light,  and  cometh  not  to 
the  light,  lest  his  works  should  be  4  reproved.  21  But  he  that  doeth  the  truth  cometh  to  the 
light,  that  his  works  may  be  made  manifest,  5  that  they  have  been  wrought  in  God. 

§  29.  CHRIST  BAPTIZING  IN  JUDEA. 

John  3 : 22-24. 

22  After  these  things  came  Jesus  and  his  disciples  into  the  land  of  Judaea ;  and  there 
he  tarried  with  them,  and  baptized.* *  23  And  John  also  was  baptizing  in  TEnon  near  to 
Salim,  because  there  6  was  much  water  there :  and  they  came,  and  were  baptized.  24  For 
John  was  not  yet  cast  into  prison. 

§30.  JOHN’S  TESTIMONY  TO  CHRIST  AT  TENON. 

John  3 : 25-36. 

25  There  arose  therefore  a  questioning  on  the  part  of  John’s  disciples  with  a  Jew  about 
purifying.  26  And  they  came  unto  John,  and  said  to  him,  Rabbi,  he  that  was  with  thee 
beyond  Jordan5,  to  whom  thou  hast  borne  witness,  behold,  ihe  same  baptizeth,  and  all  men 
come  to  him.  27  John  answered  and  said,  A  man  can  receive  nothing,  except  it  have  been 
given  him  from  heaven.  28  Y"e  yourselves  bear  me  witness,  that  I  said,  I  am  not  the  Christ, 
but,  that  I  am  sent  before  him.  29  He  that  hath  the  bride  is  the  bridegroom :  but  the  friend 
of  the  bridegroom,  which6  standeth  and  heareth  him,  rej<  iceth  greatly  because  of  the  bride¬ 
groom’s  voice  :  this  my  joy  therefore  is  fulfilled7.  30  He  must  increase,  but  I  must  decrease. 

31  He  that  cometh  from  above  is  above  all :  he  that  is  of  the  earth  is  of  the  earth,  and 
of  the  earth  he  speaketh  :  7  he  that  cometh  from  heaven  is  above  all.  32  What  he  hath  seen 
and  heard,  of  that  he  beareth  witness  ;  and  no  man  receive ih  his  witness.  33  He  that  hath 
received  his  witness  hath  set  his  seal  to  this ,  that  God  is  true.  34  For  he  whom  God  hath  sent 
speaketh  the  words  of  God  :  for  he  giveih  not  the  Spirit  by  measure.  35  The  Fa  her  loveth 
the  Son,  and  hath  given  all  things  into  his  hand.  36  He  that  believeth  on  the  Son  hath 
eternal  life;  but  he  that  8obeyeth  not  the  Son  shall  not  see  life,  but  the  wrath  of  God 
abideth  on  him.

§  32.  DISCOURSE  WITH  THE  WOMAN  OF  SAMARIA. 

John  4:4-26. 

4  And  he  must  needs  pass  through  Samaria.  5  So  he  cometh  to  a  city  of  Samaria,  called 
Sychar,  near  to  the  parcel  of  ground  that  Jacob  gave  to  his  son  Joseph  :  6  and  Jacob’s  1  well 
was  there.  Jesus  therefore,  being  wearied  with  his  journey,  sat  2  thus  by  the  1  well.  It  was 
about  the  sixth  hour.  7  There  cometh  a  woman  of  Samaria  to  draw  water  :  Jesus  saith  unto 
her,  Give  me  to  drink.  8  For  his  disciples  were  gone  away  into  the  city  to  buy  food.  9  The 
Samaritan  woman  therefore  saith  unto  him,  How  is  it  that  thou,  being  a  Jew,  askest  drink 
of  me,  which3  am  a  Samaritan  woman?  (3For  Jews  have  no  dealings  with  Samaritans.) 
10  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  her,  If  thou  knewest  the  gift  of  God,  and  who  it  is  that 
saith  to  thee,  Give  me  to  drink ;  thou  wouldest  have  asked  of  him,  and  he  would  have  given 
thee  living  water.  11  The  woman  saith  unto  him, 4  Sir,  thou  hast  nothing  to  draw  with,  and 
the  well  is  deep  :  from4  whence  then  hast  thou  that  living  water  ?  12  Art  thou  greater  than 
our  father  Jacob,  which3  gave  us  the  well,  and  drank  thereof  himself,  and  his  sons,  and 
his  cattle?  13  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  her,  Everyone  that  drinketh  of  this  water 
shall  thirst  again  :  14  but  whosoever  drinketh  of  the  water  that  I  shall  give  him  shall  never 
thirst ;  but  the  water  that  I  shall  give  him  shall  become  in  him  a  well  of  water  springing 
up  unto  eternal  life.  15  The  woman  saith  unto  him,  4  Sir,  give  me  this  water,  that  I  thirst 
not,  neither  come  all  the  way  hither  to  draw.  16  Jesus  saith  unto  her,  Go,  call  thy  husband, 
and  come  hither.  17  The  woman  answered  and  said  unto  him,  I  have  no  husband.  Jesus 
saith  unto  her,  Thou  saidst  well,  I  have  no  husband  :  18  for  thou  hast  had  five  husbands  ;  and 
he  whom  thou  now  hast  is  not  thy  husband  :  this  hast  thou  said  truly.  19  The  woman  saith 
unto  him,  4  Sir,  I  perceive  that  thou  art  a  prophet.  20  Our  fathers  worshipped  in  this 
mountain  ;  and  ye  say,  that  in  Jerusalem  is  the  place  where  men  ought  to  worship.  21  Jesus 
saith  unto  her,  Woman,  believe  me,  the  hour  cometh,  when  neither  in  this  mountain,  nor  in 
Jerusalem,  shall  ye  worship  the  Father.  22  Ye  worship  that  which  ye  know  not :  we  worship 
that  which  we  know  :  for  salvation  is  from  the  Jews.  23  But  the  hour  cometh,  and  now  is,

Father  seek  to  be  his  worshippers.  24  2  God  is  a  Spirit :  and  they  that  worship  him  must 
worship  in  spirit  and  truth.  25  The  woman  saith  unto  him,  I  know  that  Messiah  cometh 
(which1  is  called  Christ):  when  he  is  come,  he  will  declare  unto  us  all  things.  26  Jesus 
saith  unto  her,  I  that  speak  unto  thee  am  he. 

§  33.  THE  GOSPEL  IN  SYCHAR. 

John  4  :  27-42. 

27  And  upon  this  came  his  disciples ;  and  they  marvelled  that  he  was  speaking  with  a 
woman  ;  yet  no  man  said,  What  seekest  thou?  or,  Why  speakest  thou  with  her?  28  So  the 
woman  left  her  waterpot,  and  went  away  into  the  city,  and  saith  to  the  men2,  29  Come,  see 
a  man,  which3  told  me  all  things  that  ever  I  did :  can  this  be  the  Christ?  30  They  went 
out  of  the  city,  and  were  coming  to  him.  31  In  the  mean  while  the  disciples  prayed  him, 
saying,  Rabbi,  eat.  32  But  he  said  unto  them,  I  have  meat  to  eat  that  ye  know  not.  33  The 
disciples  therefore  said  one  to  another,  Hath  any  man  brought  him  aught  to  eat?  34  Jesus 
saith  unto  them,  My  meat  is  to  do  the  will  of  him  that  sent  me,  and  to  accomplish  his  work. 

35  Say  not  ye,  There  are  yet  four  months,  and  then  cometh  the  harvest?  behold,  I  say  unto 
you,  Lift  up  your  eyes,  and  look  on  the  fields,  that  they  are  3  white  already  unto  harvest. 

36  He  that  reapeth  receiveth  wages,  and  gathereth  fruit  unto  life  eternal;  that  he  that 
soweth  and  he  that  reapeth  may  rejoice  together.  37  For  herein  is  the  saying  true,  One 
soweth,  and  another  reapeth.  38  I  sent  you  to  reap  that  whereon  ye  have  not  laboured : 
others  have  laboured,  and  ye  are  entered  into  their  labour. 

39  And  from  that  city  many  of  the  Samaritans  believed  on  him  because  of  the  word  of 
the  woman,  who  testified,  He  told  me  all  things  that  ever  I  did.  40  So  when  the  Samaritans 
came  unto  him,  they  besought  him  to  abide  with  them  :  and  he  abode  there  two  days.  41 
And  many  more  believed  because  of  his  word ;  42  and  they  said  to  the  woman,  Now  we 
believe,  not  because  of  thy  speaking :  for  we  have  heard  for  ourselves,  and  know  that  this  is 
indeed  the  Saviour  of  the  world.

PART  IV. 


FIRST  PERIOD  OF  THE  GALILEAN  MINISTRY. 

From  the  Return  to  Galilee  until  the  Choosing  of  the  Twelve. 


§  34.  THE  BEGINNING  OF  CHRIST’S  GALILEAN  MINISTRY. 


Matt.  4 : 12  [13-16]  17. 

12  Now  when  he 
heard  that  John  was 
delivered  up,*  he 
withdrew  into  Gali¬ 
lee  ;  [13  and  leaving 
Nazareth,  he  came 
and  dwelt  in  Caper¬ 
naum,  which  is  by  the 
sea,  in  the  borders  of 
Zebulun  and  Naph- 
tali :  14  that  it  might 
be  fulfilled  which  was 
spoken  ^y1  Isaiah 
the  prophet,  saying, 

15  The  land  of  Zebu¬ 

lun  and  the  land 
of  Naphtali, 

2  Toward  the  sea, 
beyond  Jordan2, 
Galilee  of  the 
3  Gentiles, 

16  The  people  which3 

sat  in  darkness 
Saw  a  great  light, 


Mark  1 : 14, 15. 

14  Now  after  that4 
John  was  delivered 
up ,*  Jesus  came  into 
Galilee,  preaching  the 
gospel  of  God,  15  and 
saying,  The  time  is 
fulfilled,  and  the  king¬ 
dom  of  God  is  at  hand  : 
repent  ye,  and  believe 
in  the  gospel. 


Luke  4 : 14, 15. 

14  And  Jesus  re¬ 
turned  in  the  power 
of  the  Spirit  into  Gali¬ 
lee  :  and  a  fame  went 
out  concerning  him 
through  all  the  region 
round  about.  15  And 
he  taught  in  their 
synagogues,  being 
glorified  of  all. 


J ohn  4 : 43-45. 

43  And  after  the  two 
days  he  went  forth 
from  thence  into  Gali¬ 
lee.  44  For  Jesus 
himself  testified,  that 
a  prophet  hath  no 
honour  in  his  own 
country.  45  So  when 
he  came  into  Galilee, 
the  Galilaeans  re¬ 
ceived  him,  having 
seen  all  things5  that 
he  did  in  Jerusalem 
at  the  feast :  for  they 
also  went  unto  the 
feast. 


♦The  facts  concerning  the  imprisonment  of  John  are  more  fully  stated  in  the  following  passages: 

Matt.  14:3-5.  For  Herod  had  laid  hold  on  John,  and  bound  him,  and  put  him  in  prison  for  the  sake  of 
Herodias,  his  brother  Philip’s  wife.  4  For  John  said  unto  him,  It  is  not  lawful  for  thee  to  have  her.  5  And 
when  he  would  have  put  him  to  death,  he  feared  the  multitude,  because  they  counted  him  as  a  prophet. 
(§65) 

Mark  6:17, 18.  For  Herod  himself  had  sent  forth  and  laid  hold  upon  John,  and  bound  him  in  prison  for 
the  sake  of  Herodias,  his  brother  Philip’s  wife :  for  he  had  married  her.  18  For  John  said  unto  Herod,  It  is  not 
lawful  for  thee  to  have  thy  brother’s  wife.  (§  65) 

Luke  3:19,20.  But  Herod  the  tetrarch,  being  reproved  by  him  for  Herodias  his  brother’s  wife,  and  for  all 
the  evil  things  which  Herod  had  done,  20  added  yet  this  above  all,  that  he  shut  up  John  in  prison.  (§18)

§35.  THE  NOBLEMAN’S  SON. 

John  4  :  46-54. 

46  He  came  therefore  again  unto  Cana  of  Galilee,  where  he  made  the  water  wine.  And 
there  was  a  certain  Nobleman,  whose  son  was  sick  at  Capernaum.  47  When  he  heard  that 
Jesus  was  come  out  of  Judaea  into  Galilee,  he  went  unto  him,  and  besought  him  that  he 
would  come  down,  and  heal  his  son ;  for  he  was  at  the  point  of  death.  48  Jesus  therefore 
said  unto  him,  Except  ye  see  signs  and  wonders,  ye  will  in  no  wise  believe.  49  The  Noble¬ 
man  saith  unto  him,  2 Sir,  come  down  ere  my  child  die.  50  Jesus  saith  u»to  him,  Go  thy 
way;  thy  son  liveth.  The  man  believed  the  word  that  Jesus  spake  unto  him,  and  he  went 
his  way.  51  And  as  he  was  now  going  down,  his  Servants  met  him,  saying,  that  his  son 
lived.  52  So  he  inquired  of  them  the  hour  when  he  began  to  amend.  They  said  therefore 
unto  him,  Yesterday  at  the  seventh  hour  the  fever  left  him.  53  So  the  father  knew  that  it 
was  at  that  hour  in  which  Jesus  said  unto  him,  Thy  son  liveth :  and  himself  believed,  and 
his  whole  house.  54  This  is  again  the  second  sign  that  Jesus  did,  having  come  out  of 
Judaea  into  Galilee.

when  the  sabbath  was  come,  he 
began  to  teach  in  the  synagogue :

astonished,  saying,  Whence  hath

he  laid  his  hands  upon  a  few  sick 
folk,  and  healed  them.  6  And 
he  marvelled  because  of  their 
unbelief.]  (§  62) 


Luke  4. 

18  The  Spirit  of  the  Lord  is

4  Because  he  anointed  me 
to  preach  6  good  tidings

and  gave  it  back  to  the  at¬ 
tendant,  and  sat  down :  and 
the  eyes  of  all  in  the  syna¬ 
gogue  were  fastened  on  him. 

21  And  he  began  to  say  unto 
them,  Today  hath  this  scrip¬ 
ture  been  fulfilled  in  your 
ears.  22  And  all  bare  him 
witness,  and  wondered  at  the 
words  of  grace  which  pro¬ 
ceeded  out  of  his  mouth  :  and 
they  said,  Is  not  this  Joseph’s

them,  Doubtless  ye  will  say

standing  by  the  lake  of  Gen- 
nesaret ;  2  and  he  saw  two 
boats  standing  by  the  lake : 
but  the  fishermen  had  gone 
out  of  them,  and  were  wash¬ 
ing  their  nets.  3  And  he 
entered  into  one  of  the  boats, 
which  was  Simon’s,  and  asked 
him  to  put  out  a  little  from 
the  land.  And  he  sat  down 
and  taught  the  multitudes 
out  of  the  boat.  4  And  when 
he  had  left  speaking,  he  said 
unto  Simon,  Put  out  into  the 
deep,  and  let  down  your  nets 
for  a  draught.  5  And  Simon 
answered  and  said,  Master, 
we  toiled  all  night,  and  took 
nothing :  but  at  thy  word  I 
will  let  down  the  nets.  6  And 
when  they  had  this  done1,

were  breaking;  7  and  they

in  the  other  boat,  that  they 
should  come  and  help  them.

both  the  boats,  so  that  they

Mark  1 : 21-34. 

21  And  they  go  into  Caper¬ 
naum  ;  and  straightway  on 
the  sabbath  day  he  entered 
into  the  synagogue  and 
taught.  22  And  they  were 
astonished  at  his  teaching : 
for  he  taught  them  as  having 
authority,  and  not  as  the 
scribes.  23  And  straightway 
there  was  in  their  synagogue 
a  man  with  an  unclean  spirit ; 
and  he  cried  out,  24  saying, 
What  have  we  to  do  with 
thee,  thou  Jesus  of  Nazareth2? 
art  thou  come  to  destroy  us? 
I  know  thee  who  thou  art,  the 
Holy  One  of  God.  25  And 
Jesus  rebuked  2  him,  saying, 
Hold  thy  peace,  and  come  out 
of  him.  26  And  the  unclean 
spirit,  3  tearing  him  and  cry¬ 
ing  with  a  loud  voice,  came 
out  of  him.  27  And  they  were 
all  amazed,  insomuch  that 
they  questioned  among  them¬ 
selves,  saying,  What  is  this? 
a  new  teaching!  with  author¬ 
ity  he  commandeth  even  the 
unclean  spirits,  and  they  obey 
him.  28  And  the  report  of 
him  went  out  straightway 
everywhere  into  all  the  region 
of  Galilee  round  about. 


Luke  4 : 31-41. 

31  And  he  came  down  to 
Capernaum,  a  city  of  Galilee. 
And  he  was  teaching  them 
on  the  sabbath  day :  32  and 
they  were  astonished  at  his 
teaching ;  for  his  word  was 
with  authority.  33  And  in  the 
synagogue  there  was  a  man, 
which 3  had  a  spirit  of  an  un¬ 
clean  4devil4;  and  he  cried  out 
with  a  loud  voice,  34  5Ah! 
what  have  we  to  do  with  thee, 
thou  Jesus  of  Nazareth2?  art 
thou  come  to  destroy  us  ?  I 
know  thee  who  thou  art,  the 
Holy  One  of  God.  35  And

14  And  when  Jesus  was 
come  into  Peter’s  house,  he 
saw  his  wife’s  mother  lying 
sick  of  a  fever.  15  And  he 
touched  her  hand,  and  the 
fever  left  her ;  and  she  arose, 
and  ministered  unto  him. 


16  And  when  even  was  come, 
they  brought  unto  him  many 
1  possessed  with  devils 1 :  and 
he  cast  out  the  spirits  with  a 
word,  and  healed  all  that  were 
sick  :  17  that  it  might  be  ful¬ 
filled  which  was  spoken  2  by 2 
Isaiah  the  prophet,  saying, 
Himself  took  our  infirmities, 
and  bare  our  diseases.  (-}-  §  86)

29  And  straightway,  3  when 
they  were  come  out  of  the 
synagogue,  they  came  into  the 
house  of  Simon  and  Andrew, 
with  James  and  John.  30  Now 
Simon’s  wife’s  mother  lay  sick 
of  a  fever;  and  straightway 
they  tell  him  of  her  :  31  and 
he  came  and  took  her  by  the 
hand,  and  raised  her  up ;  and 
the  fever  left  her,  and  she 
ministered  unto  them. 

32  And  at  even,  when  the 
sun  did  set,  they  brought  unto 
him  all  that  were  sick,  and 
them  that  were  1  possessed 
with  devils1.  33  And  all  the 
city  was  gathered  together  at 
the  door.  34  And  he  healed 
many  that  were  sick  with 
divers  diseases,  and  cast  out 
many  4 devils1;  and  he  suf¬ 
fered  not  the  4  devils1  to  speak, 
because  they  knew  5  him. 


Luke  4. 

38  And  he  rose  up  from  the 
synagogue,  and  entered  into 
the  house  of  Simon.  And 
Simon’s  wife’s  mother  was 
holden  with  a  great  fever ; 
and  they  besought  him  for 
her.  39  And  he  stood  over 
her,  and  rebuked  the  fever; 
and  it  left  her :  and  imme¬ 
diately  she  rose  up  and  min¬ 
istered  unto  them.

40  And  when  the  sun  was 
setting,  all  they  that  had  any 
sick  with  divers  diseases 
brought  them  unto  him  ;  and 
he  laid  his  hands  on  every  one 
of  them,  and  healed  them. 
41  And  4  devils1  also  came  out 
from  many,  crying  out,  and 
saying,  Thou  art  the  Son  of 
God.  And  rebuking  them,  he 
suffered  them  not  to  speak, 
because  they  knew  that  he 
was  the  Christ.

behold,  they  brought  to  him 
a  man  sick  of  the  palsy, 
lying  on  a  bed:  and  Jesus 
seeing  their  faith  said  unto 
the  sick  of  the  palsy,  1  Son, 
be  of  good  cheer;  thy  sins  are 
forgiven.  3  And  behold,  cer¬ 
tain  of  the  scribes  said  within 
themselves,  This  man  blas-

2knowing  their  thoughts, said, 
Wherefore  think  ye  evil  in 
your  hearts?  5  For  whether1 
is  easier,  to  say,  Thy  sins  are

many  were  gathered  together, 
so  that  there  was  no  longer

about  the  door :  and  he  spake 
the  word  unto  them.  3  And 
they  come,  bringing  unto  him 
a  man  sick  of  the  palsy,  borne 
of  four.  4  And  when  they 
could  not  5 come  nigh  unto 
him  for  the  crowd,  they  un¬ 
covered  the  roof  where  he 
was :  and  when  they  had 
broken  it  up,  they  let  down 
the  bed  whereon  the  sick  of 
the  palsy  lay.  5  And  Jesus 
seeing  their  faith  saith  unto 
the  sick  of  the  palsy,  ^on, 
thy  sins  are  forgiven.  6  But 
there  were  certain  of  the 
scribes  sitting  there,  and 
reasoning  in  their  hearts, 
7  Why  doth  this  man  thus 
speak?  he  blasphemeth  :  who 
can  forgive  sins  but  one,  even 
God?  8  And  straightway 
Jesus,  perceiving  in  his  spirit 
that  they  so  reasoned  within 
themselves,  saith  unto  them, 
Why  reason  ye  these  things

is  easier,  to  say  to  the  sick  of

and  they  sought  to  bring  him 
in,  and  to  lay  him  before  him. 

19  And  not  finding  by  wThat

because  of  the  multitude,  they 
went  up  to  the  housetop,  and 
let  him  down  through  the  tiles 
with  his  couch  into  the  midst 
before  Jesus.  20  And  seeing 
their  faith,  he  said,  Man,  thy 
sins  are  forgiven  thee.  21  And 
the  scribes  and  the  Pharisees 
began  to  reason,  saying,  Who 
is  this  that  speaketh  blasphe¬ 
mies?  Who  can  forgive  sins, 
but  God  alone?  22  But  Jesus 
perceiving  their  reasonings, 
answered  and  said  unto  them, 
7 What4  reason  ye  in  your 
hearts?  23  Whether5  is  easier 
to  say,  Thy  sins  are  forgiven

chamber  fast,  while  the  bride¬ 
groom  is  with  then.?  35  But 
the  days  will  come  ;  and  when 
the  bridegroom  shall  be  taken 
away  from  them,  then  will 
they  fast  in  those  days.  36 
And  he  spake  also  a  parable 
unto  them ;  No  man  rendeth 
a  piece  from  a  new  garment 
and  putteth  it  upon  an  old 
garment;  else  he  will  rend 
the  new,  and  also  the  piece 
from  the  new  will  not  agree 
with  the  old.  37  And  no  man 
putteth  new  wine  into  old 
2 wine-skins;  else  the  new 
wine  will  burst  the  skins, 
and  itself  will  be  spilled,  and 
the  skins  will  perish.  38  But 
new  wine  must  be  put  into 
fresh  wine-skins.  39  And  no 
man  having  drunk  old  wine 
desireth  new :  for  he  saith, 
The  old  is  3  good. 


§  44.  THE  INFIRM  MAN  AT  THE  POOL  OF  BETHESDA. 

John,  chap.  5. 

1  After  these  things  there  was  4  a  feast  of  the  Jews ;  and  Jesus  went  up  to  Jerusalem. 

2  Now  there  is  in  Jerusalem  by  the  sheep  gate  a  pool,  which  is  called  in  Hebrew 
5Bethesda,  having  five  porches.  3  In  these  lay  a  multitude  of  them  that  were  sick,  blind, 
halt,  6  withered.  5  And  a  certain  man  was  there,  which1  had  been  thirty  and  eight  years  in 
his  infirmity.  6  When  Jesus  saw  him  lying,  and  knew  that  he  had  been  now  a  long  time  in 
that  case ,  he  saith  unto  him,  Wouldest  thou  be  made  whole?  7  The  sick  man  answered 
him,  7  Sir,  I  have  no  man,  when  the  water  is  troubled,  to  put  me  into  the  pool :  but  while  I 
am  coming,  another  steppeth  down  before  me.  8  Jesus  saith  unto  him,  Arise,  take  up  thy 
bed,  and  walk.  9  And  straightway  the  man  was  made  whole,  and  took  up  his  bed  and  walked.

§44 


John  5. 

Now  it  was  the  sabbath  on  that  day.  10  So  the  Jews  said  unto  him  that  was  cured,  It 
is  the  sabbath,  and  it  is  not  lawful  for  thee  to  take  up  thy  bed.  11  But  he  answered  them, 
He  that  made  me  whole,  the  same  said  unto  me,  Take  up  thy  bed,  and  walk.  12  They  asked 
him,  Who  is  the  man  that  said  unto  thee,  Take  up  thy  bed ,  and  walk?  13  But  he  that  was 
healed  wist1  not  who  it  was:  for  Jesus  had  conveyed  himself  away,  a  multitude  being  in 
the  place.  14  Afterward  Jesus  findeth  him  in  the  temple,  and  said  unto  him,  Behold,  thou 
art  made  whole :  sin  no  more,  lest  a  worse  thing  befall  thee.  15  The  man  went  away,  and 
told  the  Jews  that  it  was  Jesus  which2  had  made  him  whole.  16  And  for  this  cause  did  the 
Jews  persecute3  Jesus,  because  he  did  these  things  on  the  sabbath.  17  But  Jesus  answered 
them,  My  Father  worketh  even  until  now,  and  I  work.  18  For  this  cause  therefore  the 
Jews  sought  the  more  to  kill  him,  because  he  not  only  brake  the  sabbath,  but  also  called 
God  his  own  Father,  making  himself  equal  with  God. 

19  Jesus  therefore  answered  and  said  unto  them, 

Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you,  The  Son  can  do  nothing  of  himself,  but  what  he  seeth  the 
Father  doing :  for  what  things  soever  he  doeth,  these  the  Son  also  doeth  in  like  manner.  20 
For  the  Father  loveth  the  Son,  and  sheweth  him  all  things  that  himself  doeth :  and  greater 
works  than  these  will  he  shew  him,  that  ye  may  marvel.  21  For  as  the  Father  raiseth  the 
dead  and  quickeneth  them4,  even  so  the  Son  also  quickeneth5  whom  he  will.  22  For 
neither  doth  the  Father  judge  any  man,  but  he  hath  given  all  judgement  unto  the  Son  ;  23 
that  all  may  honour  the  Son,  even  as  they  honour  the  Father.  He  that  honoureth  not  the 
Son  honoureth  not  the  Father  which6  sent  him.  24  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you,  He  that 
heareth  my  word,  and  believeth  him  that  sent  me,  hath  eternal  life,  and  cometh  not  into 
judgement,  but  hath  passed  out  of  death  into  life.  25  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you,  The 
hour  cometh,  and  now  is,  when  the  dead  shall  hear  the  voice  of  the  Son  of  God ;  and  they 
that  hear  shall  live.  26  For  as  the  Father  hath  life  in  himself,  even  so  gave  he  to  the  Son 
also  to  have  life  in  himself :  27  and  he  gave  him  authority  to  execute  judgement,  because  he 
is  Jthe  Son7  of  man.  28  Marvel  not  at  this:  for  the  hour  cometh,  in  which  all  that  are  in 
the  tombs  shall  hear  his  voice,  29  and  shall  come  forth  ;  they  that  have  done  good,  unto  the> 
resurrection  of  life;  and  they  that  have  2 done  ill8  unto  the  resurrection  of  judgement. 

30  lean  of  myself  do  nothing:  as  I  hear,  I  judge:  and  my  judgement  is  righteous; 
because  I  seek  not  mine  own  will,  but  the  will  of  him  that  sent  me.  31  If  I  bear  witness  of 
myself,  my  witness  is  not  true.  32  It  is  another  that  beareth  witness  of  me ;  and  I  know 
that  the  witness  which  he  witnesseth  of  me  is  true.  33  Ye  have  sent  unto  John,  and  he  hath 
borne  witness  unto  the  truth.  34  But  the  witness  which  I  receive  is  not  from  man  :  howbeit 
I  say  these  things,  that  ye  may  be  saved.  35  He  was  the  lamp  that  burneth  and  shineth : 
and  ye  were  willing  to  rejoice  for  a  season  in  his  light.  36  But  the  witness  which  I  have  is 
greater  than  that  of  John :  for  the  works  which  the  Father  hath  given  me  to  accomplish, 
the  very  works  that  I  do,  bear  witness  of  me,  that  the  Father  hath  sent  me.  37  And  the 
Father  which6  sent  me,  he  hath  borne  witness  of  me.  Ye  have  neither  heard  his  voice  at 
any  time,  nor  seen  his  form.  38  And  ye  have  not  his  word  abiding  in  you  :  for  whom  he  sent, 
him  ye  believe  not.  39  3  Ye  search  the  scriptures,  because  ye  think  that  in  them  ye  have 
eternal  life ;  and  these  are  they  which  bear  witness  of  me  ;  40  and  ye  will  not  come  to  me, 
that  ye  may  have  life.  41  I  receive  not  glory  from  men.  42  But  I  know  you,  that  ye  have 
not  the  love  of  God  in  yourselves.  43  I  am  come  in  my  Father’s  name,  and  ye  receive  me 
not :  if  another  shall  come  in  his  own  name,  him  ye  will  receive.  44  How  can  ye  believe,

§  45.  THE  DISCIPLES  PLUCKING  GRAIN. 


Matt.  12 : 1-8. 

1  At  that  season  Jesus  went 
on  the  sabbath  day  through 
the  cornfields2 ;  and  his  dis¬ 
ciples  wTere  an  hungred 3,  and 
began  to  pluck  ears  of  corn4, 
and  to  eat.  2  But  the  Phari¬ 
sees,  when  they  saw  it,  said 
unto  him,  Behold,  thy  dis¬ 
ciples  do  that  which  it  is  not 
lawful  to  do  upon  the  sabbath. 

3  But  he  said  unto  them,  Have 
ye  not  read  wThat  David  did, 
when  he  wTas  an  hungred3, 
and  they  that  were  with  him  ; 

4  how  he  entered  into  the 
house  of  God,  and  2 did  eat5 
the  shewbread,  which  it  was 
not  lawTful  for  him  to  eat, 
neither  for  them  that  were 
with  him,  but  only  for  the 
priests?  5  Or  have  ye  not 
read  in  the  law,  how6  that  on 
the  sabbath  day  the  priests 
in  the  temple  profane  the 
sabbath,  and  are  guiltless? 
6  But  I  say  unto  you  that 
^one  greater  than  the  temple 
is  here.  7  But  if  ye  had 
known  what  this  meaneth,  I 
desire  mercy,  and  not  sacri¬ 
fice,  ye  would  not  have  con¬ 
demned  the  guiltless.  8  For 
the  Son  of  man  is  lord  of  the 
sabbath. 


Make  2:23-28. 

23  And  it  came  to  pass,  that 
he  was  going  on  the  sabbath 
day  through  the  cornfields2; 
and  his  disciples  4  began,  as 
they  went,  to  pluck  the  ears 
of  corn  4.  24  And  the  Phari¬ 
sees  said  unto  him,  Behold, 
why  do  they  on  the  sabbath 
day  that  which  is  not  lawful? 
25  And  he  said  unto  them,  Did 
ye  never  read  wThat  David  did, 
when  he  had  need,  and  was  an 
hungred 3,  he,  and  they  that 
were  with  him?  26  How  he 
entered  into  the  house  of  God 
5  when  Abiathar  was  high 
priest,  and  did  eat5  the  shew¬ 
bread,  which  it  is  not  lawful 
to  eat  save  for  the  priests, 
and  gave  also  to  them  that 
were  with  him?  27  And  he 
said  unto  them,  The  sabbath 
was  made  for  man,  and  not 
man  for  the  sabbath  :  28  so 
that  the  Son  of  man  is  lord 
even  of  the  sabbath. 


Luke  6:1-5. 

1  Now  it  came  to  pass  on  a 
6 sabbath,  that  he  was  going 
through  the  cornfields2;  and 
his  disciples  plucked  the  ears 
of  corn  4,  and  did  eat,  rubbing 
them  in  their  hands.  2  But 
certain  of  the  Pharisees  said, 
Why  do  ye  that  which  it  is 
not  lawful  to  do  on  the  sab¬ 
bath  day?  3  And  Jesus  an¬ 
swering  them  said,  Have  ye 
not  read  even  this,  wThat  David 
did,  when  he  was  an  hungred 3, 
he,  and  they  that  were  with 
him ;  4  how  he  entered  into 
the  house  of  God,  and  did 
take 7  and  eat 5  the  shewbread, 
and  gave  also  to  them  that 
were  with  him ;  which  it  is 
not  lawful  to  eat  save  for  the 
priests  alone?  5  And  he  said 
unto  them,  The  Son  of  man  is 
lord  of  the  sabbath.

§  46.  THE  MAN  WITH  THE  WITHERED  HAND. 


Matt.  12 : 9-14. 

9  And  he  departed  thence, 
and  went  into  their  syna¬ 
gogue  :  10  and  behold,  a  man 
having  a  withered  hand.  And 
they  asked  him,  saying,  Is  it 
lawful  to  heal  on  the  sabbath 
day  ?  that  they  might  accuse 
him.  11  And  he  said  unto 
them,  aWhat  man  shall  there 
be  of  you,  that  shall  have  one 
sheep,  and  if  this  fall  into  a 
pit  on  the  sabbath  day,  will 
he  not  lay  hold  on  it,  and  lift 
it  out?  12  How  much  then  is 
a  man  of  more  value  than  a 
sheep!  Wherefore  it  is  law¬ 
ful  to  do  good  on  the  sabbath 
day.  13  Then  saith  he  to  the 
man,  Stretch  forth  thy  hand. 
And  he  stretched  it  forth;  and 
it  was  restored  whole,  as  the 
other.  14  But  the  Pharisees 
went  out,  and  took  counsel 
against  him,  how  they  might 
destroy  him.  (-}-§47) 


Mark  3 : 1-6. 

1  And  he  entered  again  into 
the  synagogue ;  and  there 
was  a  man  there  which 1  had 
his  hand  withered.  2  And 
they  watched  him,  whether 
he  would  heal  him  on  the  sab¬ 
bath  day;  that  they  might 
accuse  him.  3  And  he  saith 
unto  the  man  that  had  his 
hand  withered,  1  Stand  forth. 
4  And  he  saith  unto  them,  Is 
it  lawful  on  the  sabbath  day 
to  do  good,  or  to  do  harm  ?  to 
save  a  life,  or  to  kill?  But 
they  held  their  peace.  5  And 
when  he  had  looked  round 
about  on  them  with  anger, 
being  grieved  at  the  harden¬ 
ing  of  their  heart,  he  saith 
unto  the  man,  Stretch  forth 
thy  hand.  And  he  stretched 
it  forth:  and  his  hand  was 
restored.  6  And  the  Phari¬ 
sees  went  out,  and  straight¬ 
way  with  the  Herodians  took 
counsel  against  him,  how  they 
might  destroy  him. 


Luke  6 : 6-11. 

6  And  it  came  to  pass  on 
another  sabbath,  that  he  en¬ 
tered  into  the  synagogue  and 
taught:  and  there  was  a  man 
there,  and  his  right  hand  was 
withered.  7  And  the  scribes 
and  the  Pharisees  wTatched 
him,  whether  he  would  heal 
on  the  sabbath ;  that  they 
might  find  how  to  accuse  him. 
8  But  he  knew  their  thoughts; 
and  he  said  to  the  man  that 
had  his  hand  withered,  Rise 
up,  and  stand  forth  in  the 
midst.  And  he  arose  and 
stood  forth.  9  And  Jesus  said 
unto  them,  I  ask  you,  Is  it 
lawful  on  the  sabbath  to  do 
good,  or  to  do  harm  ?  to  save 
a  life,  or  to  destroy  it?  10 
And  he  looked  round  about 
on  them  all,  and  said  unto 
him,  Stretch  forth  thy  hand. 
And  he  did  so :  and  his  hand 
was  restored.  11  But  they 
were  filled  with  2 madness; 
and  communed  one  with  an¬

body  shall  be  full  of  darkness. 
If  therefore  the  light  that  is

not,  neither  do  they  reap,  nor 
gather  into  barns ;  and  your

them.  Are  not  ye  of  much 
more  value  than  they?  27

Luke  7 : 1-10. 

1  After  he  had  ended  all  his 
sayings  in  the  ears  of  the  peo¬ 
ple,  he  entered  into  Caper¬ 
naum. 

2  And  a  certain  centurion’s 
5 servant,  who  was  8 dear  unto 
him,  was  sick  and  at  the 
point  of  death.  3  And  when 
he  heard  concerning  Jesus, 
he  sent  unto  him  elders  of 
the  Jews,  asking  him  that  he 
would  come  and  save  his  5  ser¬ 
vant.  4  And  they,  when  they 
came  to  Jesus,  besought  him 
earnestly,  saying,  He  is 
worthy  that  thou  shouldest 
do  this  for  him :  5  for  he 
loveth  our  nation,  and  him¬ 
self  built  us  our  synagogue. 
6  And  Jesus  went  with  them. 
And  when  he  was  now  not  far 
from  the  house,  the  centurion 
sent  friends  to  him,  saying 
unto  him,  Lord,  trouble  not 
thyself  :  for  I  am  not  2  worthy 
that  thou  shouldest  come 
under  my  roof :  7  wherefore

unto  the  centurion,  Go  thy

so  be  it  done  unto  thee.  And 
the  Servant  was  healed  in 
that  hour.  (-(-  §  39)

him,  I  say  unto  you,  I  have  not

disciples  went  with  him,  and  a  great  multitude.  12  Now  when  he  drew  near  to  the  gate  of 
the  city,  behold,  there  was  carried  out  one  that  was  dead,  the  only  son  of  his  mother,  and 
she  was  a  widow :  and  much  people  of  the  city  was  with  her.  13  And  when  the  Lord  saw 
her,  he  had  compassion  on  her,  and  said  unto  her,  Weep  not.  14  And  he  came  nigh  and 
touched  the  bier :  and  the  bearers  stood  still.  And  he  said,  Young  man,  I  say  unto  thee. 
Arise.  15  And  he  that  was  dead  sat  up,  and  began  to  speak.  And  he  gave  him  to  his 
mother.  16  And  fear  took  hold  on  all :  and  they  glorified  God,  saying,  A  great  prophet  is 
arisen  among  us :  and,  God  hath  visited  his  people.  17  And  this  report  went  forth  con¬ 
cerning  him  in  the  whole  of  Judaea,  and  all  the  region  round  about.

Art  thou  he  that  cometh,  or

Jesus  answered  and  said  unto

they  said,  John  the  Baptist 
hath  sent  us  unto  thee,  say¬ 
ing,  Art  thou  he  that  cometh, 
or  look  we  for  another?  21  In 
that  hour  he  cured  many  of 
diseases  and  4  plagues  and 
evil  spirits;  and  on  many  that 
were  blind  he  bestowed  sight. 
22  And  he  answered  and  said 
unto  them,  Go  your  way r,  and 
tell  John  what  things5  ye 
have  seen  and  heard ;  the 
blind  receive  their  sight,  the

blessed  is  he,  whosoever  shall 
find  none3  occasion  of  stum¬

24  And  when  the  messen¬ 
gers  of  John  were  departed, 
he  began  to  say  unto  the 
multitudes  concerning  John, 
What  went  ye  out  into  the

But  what  went  ye  out  to  see?

§  53.  ANOINTING  OF  JESUS  IN  THE  HOUSE  OF  SIMON  THE  PHARISEE. 

Luke  7  :  36-50. 

36  And  one  of  the  Pharisees  desired  him  that  he  would  eat  with  him.  And  he  entered 
into  the  Pharisee’s  house,  and  sat  down  to  meat.  37  And  behold,  a  woman  which 1  was  in 
the  city,  a  sinner ;  and  when  she  knew  that  he  was  sitting  at  meat  in  the  Pharisee’s  house, 
she  brought  1  an  alabaster  cruse  of  ointment,  38  and  standing  behind  at  his  feet,  weeping, 
she  began  to  wet  his  feet  with  her  tears,  and  wiped  them  with  the  hair  of  her  head,  and 
2 kissed  his  feet,  and  anointed  them  with  the  ointment.  39  Now  when  the  Pharisee  which2 
had  bidden  him  saw  it,  he  spake  within  himself,  saying,  This  man,  if  he  were  3  a  prophet, 
would  have  perceived  who  and  what  manner  of  woman  this  is  which2  toucheth  him,  that 
she  is  a  sinner.  40  And  Jesus  answering  said  unto  him,  Simon,  I  have  somewhat  to  say  unto 
thee.  And  he  saith,  4 Master3,  say  on.  41  A  certain  lender  had  two  debtors:  the  one  owed 
five  hundred  5 pence4,  and  the  other  fifty.  42  When  they  had  not  wherewith  to  pay,  he 
forgave  them  both.  Which  of  them  therefore  will  love  him  most?  43  Simon  answered  and 
said,  He,  I  suppose,  to  whom  he  forgave  the  most.  And  he  said  unto  him,  Thou  hast  rightly 
judged.  44  And  turning  to  the  woman,  he  said  unto  Simon,  Seest  thou  this  woman?  I 
entered  into  thine 5  house,  thou  gavest  me  no  water  for  my  feet :  but  she  hath  wetted  my 
feet  with  her  tears,  and  wiped  them  with  her  hair.  45  Thou  gavest  me  no  kiss :  but  she, 
since  the  time  I  came  in,  hath  not  ceased  to  6  kiss  my  feet.  46  My  head  with  oil  thou  didst 
not  anoint :  but  she  hath  anointed  my  feet  with  ointment.  47  Wherefore  I  say  unto  thee, 
Her  sins,  which  are  many,  are  forgiven  ;  for  she  loved  much  :  but  to  whom  little  is  forgiven, 
the  same  loveth  little.  48  And  he  said  unto  her,  Thy  sins  are  forgiven.  49  And  they  that 
sat  at  meat  with  him  began  to  say  7  within  themselves,  Who  is  this  that  even  forgiveth  sins? 
50  And  he  said  unto  the  woman,  Thy  faith  hath  saved  thee  ;  go  in  peace.

§  54.  CHRIST’S  COMPANIONS  ON  HIS  SECOND  PREACHING  TOUR. 

Luke  8 : 1-3. 

1  And  it  came  to  pass  soon  afterwards,  that  he  went  about  through  cities  and  villages, 
preaching  and  bringing  the  1  good  tidings  of  the  kingdom  of  God,  and  with  him  the  twelve, 
2  and  certain  women  which1  had  been  healed  of  evil  spirits  and  infirmities,  Mary  that  was 
called  Mlagdalene,  from  whom  seven  2devils2  had  gone  out,  3  and  Joanna  the  wife  of 
Chuza3  Herod’s  steward,  and  Susanna,  and  many  others,  which4  ministered  unto  3  them  of 
their  substance.  (+  §  57) 

§55.  WARNINGS  TO  THE  SCRIBES  AND  PHARISEES:  “AN  ETERNAL  SIN.” 


Matt.  12 : 22-45. 


22  Then  was  brought  unto 
him  4  one  possessed  with  a 
devil5,  blind  and  dumb:  and 
he  healed  him,  insomuch  that 
the  dumb  man  spake  and  saw. 
23  And  all  the  multitudes 
were  amazed,  and  said,  Is 
this6  the  son  of  David?  24 
But  when  the  Pharisees  heard 
it,  they  said,  This  man  doth 
not  cast  out  2  devils 2  but  5  by 
Beelzebub  the  prince  of  the 
^devils2.  And  knowing  their 
thoughts  he  said  unto 
them,  Every  kingdom  divided 
against  itself  is  brought  to 
desolation  ;  and  every  city  or 
house  divided  against  itself 
shall  not  stand :  26  and  if 

Satan  casteth  out  Satan,  he  is 
divided  against  himself  ;  how 
then  shall  his  kingdom  stand? 
27  And  if  I  5  by  Beelzebub 
cast  out  2 devils2,  5 by  whom 


Mark  3  :  20-30. 

20  And  he  cometh  6  into  a 
house.*  And  the  multitude 
cometh  together  again,  so  that 
they  could  not  so  much  as  eat 
bread.  21  And  when  his 
friends  heard  it,  they  went 
out  to  lay  hold  on  him :  for 
they  said,  He  is  beside  himself. 

22  And  the  scribes  which 4 
came  down  from  Jerusalem 
said,  He  hath  Beelzebub,  and, 
7  By  the  prince  of  the  2  devils 2 
casteth  he  out  the  2 devils2. 
23  And  he  called  them  unto 
him,  and  said  unto  them  in 
parables,  How  can  Satan  cast 
out  Satan?  24  And  if  a  king¬ 
dom  be  divided  against  itself, 
that  kingdom  cannot  stand. 
25  And  if  a  house  be  divided 
against  itself,  that  house  will 
not  be  able  to  stand.  26  And 
if  Satan  hath  risen  up  against 
himself,  and  is  divided,  he 
cannot  stand,  but  hath  an  end. 
27  But  no  one  can  enter  into 
the  house  of  the  strong  man , 
and  spoil  his  goods,  except  he 
first  bind  the  strong  man ; 
and  then  he  will  spoil  his 
house.

[Luke  11:14-23.] 


[Luke  11:14-23.  And  he  was 
casting  out  a  8  devil 5  which 7  was 
dumb.  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
the  8  devil 5  was  gone  out,  the 
dumb  man  spake ;  and  the  multi¬ 
tudes  marvelled.  15  But  some  of 
them  said,  7  By  Beelzebub  the 
prince  of  the  2  devils  2  casteth  he 
out  2 devils2.  16  And  others, 
tempting8  Aim,  sought  of  him  a 
sign  from  heaven.  17  But  he, 
knowing  their  thoughts,  said  unto 
them,  Every  kingdom  divided 
against  itself  is  brought  to  desola¬ 
tion  ;  9  and  a  house  divided  against 
a  house  falleth.  18  And  if  Satan 
also  is  divided  against  himself, 
how  shall  his  kingdom  stand?  be¬

ils2  5  by  Beelzebub.  19  And  if  I 
5 by  Beelzebub  cast  out  2  devils2, 
by  whom  do  your  sons  cast  them 
out?  therefore  shall  they  be  your 
judges.  20  But  if  I  by  the  finger

do  your  sons  cast  them  out? 
therefore  shall  they  be  your 
judges.  28  But  if  I  1  by  the 
Spirit  of  God  cast  out  2devils1, 
then  is  the  kingdom  of  God 
come  upon  you.  29  Or  how 
can  one  enter  into  the  house 
of  the  strong  man,  and  spoil 
his  goods,  except  he  first  bind 
the  strong  man?  and  then 
he  will  spoil  his  house.  30 
He  that  is  not  with  me  is 
against  me;  and  hethatgath- 
ereth  not  'with  me  scattereth. 

31  a  Therefore  I  say  unto  you, 
Every  sin  and  blasphemy  shall 
be  forgiven  3 unto  men;  but 
the  blasphemy  against  the 
Spirit  shall  not  be  forgiven. 

32  And  whosoever  shall  speak 
a  word  against  the  Son  of  man, 
it  shall  be  forgiven  him  ;  but 
whosoever  shall  speak  against 
the  Holy  Spirit,  it  shall  not 
be  forgiven  him,  neither  in 
this  4  world,  nor  in  that  which 
is  to  come. 

33  b  Either  make  the  tree 
good,  and  its  fruit  good ;  or 
make  the  tree  corrupt,  and 
its  fruit  corrupt :  for  the  tree 
is  known  by  its  fruit.  34  Ye 
offspring  of  vipers,  how  can 
ye,  being  evil,  speak  good 
things?  for  out  of  the  abun¬ 
dance  of  the  heart  the  mouth 
speaketh.  35  The  good  man 
out  of  his  good  treasure  bring- 
eth  forth  good  things :  and

and  their  blasphemies  where¬

pheme  :  29  but  whosoever 

shall  blaspheme  against  the 
Holy  Spirit  hath  never  for¬

the  kingdom  of  God  come  upon 
you.  21  When  the  strong  man 
fully  armed  guardeth  his  own 
court,  his  goods  are  in  peace :  22 
but  when  a  stronger  than  he  shall 
come  upon  him,  and  overcome 
him,  he  taketh  from  him  his  whole 
armour  wherein  he  trusted,  and 
divideth  his  spoils.  23  He  that 
is  not  with  me  is  against  me; 
and  he  that  gathereth  not  with 
me  scattereth.]  (§  94)

no  good  tree  that  bringeth  forth 
corrupt  fruit;  nor  again  a  cor¬ 
rupt  tree  that  bringeth  forth 
good  fruit.  44  For  each  tree  is 
known  by  its  own  fruit.  For  of 
thorns  men  do  not  gather  figs, 
nor  of  a  bramble  bush  gather 
they  grapes.  45  The  good  man 
out  of  the  good  treasure  of  his 
heart  bringeth  forth  that  which 
is  good ;  and  the  evil  man  out  of

the  evil  man  out  of  his  evil 
treasure  bringeth  forth  evil 
things.  36  And  I  say  unto 
you,  that  every  idle  word  that 
men  shall  speak,  they  shall 
give  account  thereof  in  the 
day  of  judgement.  37  For  by 
thy  words  thou  shalt  be  justi¬

shalt  be  condemned. 

38  aThen  certain-  of  the 
scribes  and  Pharisees  an¬ 
swered  him,  saying,  faster1,

39  But  he  answered  and  said 
unto  them,  b  An  evil  and  adul¬ 
terous  generation  seeketh 
after  a  sign  ;  and  there  shall 
no  sign  be  given  to  it  but  the 
sign  of  Jonah  the  prophet: 

40  for  as  Jonah  was  three 
days  and  three  nights  in  the 
belly  of  the  2  whale ;  so  shall 
the  Son  of  man  be  three  days 
and  three  nights  in  the  heart 
of  the  earth.  41  The  men  of 
Nineveh  shall  stand  up  in  the 
judgement  with  this  genera¬ 
tion,  and  shall  condemn  it : 
for  they  repented  at  the 
preaching  of  Jonah;  and  be¬

is  here.  42  The  queen  of  the 
south  shall  rise  up  in  the 
judgement  with  this  genera¬ 
tion,  and  shall  condemn  it : 
for  she  came  from  the  ends  of

of  Solomon;  and  behold,  3 a 
greater  than  Solomon  is  here.

sign ;  and  there  shall  no  sign  be 
given  to  it  but  the  sign  of  Jonah. 
30  For  even  as  Jonah  became  a

stood  without,  seeking  to 
speak  to  him.  47  8  And  one 
said  unto  him,  Behold,  thy

and  who  are  my  brethren? 

49  And  he  stretched  forth 
his  hand  towards  his  dis¬ 
ciples,  and  said,  Behold,  my

50  For  whosoever  shall  do

And  he  answereth  them,  and 
saith,  Who  is  my  mother  and

THE  PARABLES  BY  THE  SEA

§  57.  THE  PARABLES  BY  THE  SEA. 


Matt.  13:1-53. 

1  On  that  day  went  Jesus 
out  of  the  house,  and  sat  by 
the  sea  side.  2  And  there 
were  gathered  unto  him  great 
multitudes,  so  that  he  en¬ 
tered  into  a  boat,  and  sat ; 
and  all  the  multitude  stood 
on  the  beach.  3  And  he 
spake  to  them  many  things 
in  parables,  saying,  Behold, 
the  sower  went  forth  to  sow ; 
4  and  as  he  sowed,  some  seeds 
fell  by  the  way  side,  and  the 
birds  came  and  devoured 
them  :  5  and  others  fell  upon 
the  rocky  places,  where  they 
had  not  much  earth :  and 
straightway  they  sprang  up, 
because  they  had  no  deep¬ 
ness  of  earth :  6  and  when 
the  sun  was  risen,  they  were 
scorched;  and  because  they 
had  no  root,  they  withered 
away.  7  And  others  fell  upon 
the  thorns ;  and  the  thorns 
grew  up,  and  choked  them : 
8  and  others  fell  upon  the 
good  ground,  and  yielded 
fruit,  some  a  hundredfold, 
some  sixty,  some  thirty.  9 
aHe  that  hath  ^rs,  let  him 
hear. 


10  And  the  disciples  came, 
and  said  unto  him,  Why 
speakest  thou  unto  them  in 
parables?  11  And  he  an¬ 
swered  and  said  unto  them, 
Unto  you  it  is  given  to  know 


Make:  4 : 1-34. 

1  And  again  he  began  to 
teach  by  the  sea  side.  And 
there  is  gathered  unto  him  a 
very  great  multitude,  so  that 
he  entered  into  a  boat,  and 
sat  in  the  sea ;  and  all  the 
multitude  were  by  the  sea  on 
the  land.  2  And  he  taught 
them  many  things  in  para¬ 
bles,  and  said  unto  them  in 
his  teaching,  3  Hearken  :  Be¬ 
hold,  the  sower  went  forth  to 
sow :  4  and  it  came  to  pass, 
as  he  sowed,  some  seed  fell 
by  the  way  side,  and  the  birds 
came  and  devoured  it.  5  And 
other  fell  on  the  rocky  ground , 
where  it  had  not  much  earth  ; 
and  straightway  it  sprang  up, 
because  it  had  no  deepness  of 
earth :  6  and  when  the  sun 
was  risen,  it  was  scorched ; 
and  because  it  had  no  root,  it 
withered  away.  7  And  other 
fell  among  the  thorns,  and 
the  thorns  grew  up,  and 
choked  it,  and  it  yielded  no 
fruit.  8  And  others  fell  into 
the  good  ground,  and  yielded 
fruit,  growing  up  and  in¬ 
creasing  ;  and  brought  forth, 
thirtyfold,  and  sixtyfold,  and 
a  hundredfold.  9  And  he 
said,  a  Who  hath  ears  to  hear, 
let  him  hear. 

10  And  when  he  was  alone, 
they  that  were  about  him  with 
the  twelve  asked  of  him  the 
parables.  11  And  he  said 
unto  them,  Unto  you  is  given 
the  mystery  of  the  kingdom 


Luxe  8 : 4-18. 

4  And  when  a  great  multi¬ 
tude  came  together,  and  they 
of  every  city  resorted  unto 
him,  he  spake  by  a  parable : 
5  The  sower  went  forth  to 
sow  his  seed :  and  as  he 
sowed,  some  fell  by  the  way 
side ;  and  it  was  trodden 
under  foot,  and  the  birds  of 
the  heaven  devoured  it.  6 
And  other  fell  on  the  rock ; 
and  as  soon  as  it  grew,  it 
withered  away,  because  it 
had  no  moisture.  7  And 
other  fell  amidst  the  thorns ; 
and  the  thorns  grew  with  it, 
and  choked  it.  8  And  other 
fell  into  the  good  ground,  and 
grew,  and  brought  forth  fruit 
a  hundredfold.  As  he  said 
these  things,  he  cried,  aHe 
that  hath  ears  to  hear,  let 
him  hear. 


9  And  his  disciples  asked 
him  what  this  parable  might 
be.  10  And  he  said,  Unto  you 
it  is  given  to  know  the  mys¬ 
teries  of  the  kingdom  of  God : 
but  to  the  rest  in  parables;

taken  away  even  that  which 
he  hath.  13  Therefore  speak 
I  to  them  in  parables ;  be¬ 
cause  seeing  they  see  not,  and 
hearing  they  hear  not,  neither 
do  they  understand.  14  And 
unto  them  is  fulfilled  the 
prophecy  of  Isaiah,  which 
saith, 

By  hearing  ye  shall  hear, 
and  shall  in  no  wise  un¬ 
derstand  ; 

And  seeing  ye  shall  see, 
and  shall  in  no  wise  per¬ 
ceive  : 

15  For  this  people’s  heart  is 

waxed  gross, 

And  their  ears  are  dull  of 
hearing, 

And  their  eyes  they  have 
closed ; 

Lest  haply  they  should 
perceive  with  their  eyes, 

And  hear  with  their  ears, 

And  understand  with  their 
heart, 

And  should  turn  again, 

And  I  should  heal  them. 

16  bBut  blessed  are  your  eyes, 
for  they  see ;  and  your  ears,  for 
they  hear.  17  For  verily  I  say 
unto  you,  that  many  prophets 
and  righteous  men  desired 
to  see  the  things  which  ye 
see,  and  saw  them  not ;  and 
to  hear  the  things  which  ye 
hear,  and  heard  them  not.

of  God :  but  unto  them  that 
are  without,  all  things  are 
done  in  parables :  12  that 

seeing  they  may  see,  and  not 
perceive;  and  hearing  they 
may  hear,  and  not  under¬ 
stand  ;  lest  haply  they  should 
turn  again,  and  it  should  be 
forgiven  them.

Matt.  13. 

18  Hear  then  ye  the  para¬ 
ble  of  the  sower.  19  When 
any  one  heareth  the  word  of 
the  kingdom,  and  understand- 
eth  it  not,  then  cometh  the 
evil  one ,  and  snatcheth  away 
that  which  hath  been  sown  in 
his  heart.  This  is  he  that 
was  sown  by  the  way  side.  20 
And  he  that  was  sown  upon 
the  rocky  places,  this  is  he 
that  heareth  the  word,  and 
straightway  with  joy  receiv- 
eth  it;  21  yet  hath  he  not 
root  in  himself,  but  endureth 
for  a  while ;  and  when  tribu¬ 
lation  or  persecution  ariseth 
because  of  the  word,  straight¬ 
way  he  stumbleth.  22  And 
he  that  was  sown  among  the 
thorns,  this  is  he  that  heareth 
the  word  ;  and  the  care  of  the 
1  world,  and  the  deceitfulness 
of  riches,  choke  the  word,  and 
he  becometh  unfruitful.  23 
And  he  that  was  sown  upon 
the  good  ground,  this  is  he 
that  heareth  the  word,  and 
understandeth  it ;  who  verily 
beareth  fruit,  and  bringeth 
forth,  some  a  hundredfold, 
some  sixty,  some  thirty^ 


Mark  4. 

13  And  he  saith  unto  tnem, 
Know  ye  not  this  parable? 
and  how  shall  ye  know  all  the 
parables?  14  The  sower  sow- 
eth  the  word.  15  And  these 
are  they  by  the  way  side, 
where  the  word  is  sown  ;  and 
when  they  have  heard, 
straightway  cometh  Satan, 
and  taketh  away  the  word 
which  hath  been  sown  in 
them.  16  And  these  in  like 
manner  are  they  that  are  sown 
upon  the  rocky  places ,  who, 
when  they  have  heard  the 
word,  straightway  receive  it 
with  joy ;  17  and  they  have 
no  root  in  themselves,  but  en¬ 
dure  for  a  while  ;  then,  when 
tribulation  or  persecution 
ariseth  because  of  the  word, 
straightway  they  stumble.  18 
And  others  are  they  that  are 
sown  among  the  thorns ;  these 
are  they  that  have  heard  the 
word,  19  and  the  cares  of  the 
1  world,  and  the  deceitfulness 
of  riches,  and  the  lusts  of 
other  things  entering  in, 
choke  the  word,  and  it  be¬ 
cometh  unfruitful.  20  And 
those  are  they  that  were  sown 
upon  the  good  ground  ;  such 
as  hear  the  word,  and  accept 
it,  and  bear  fruit,  thirtyfold, 
and  sixtyfold,  and  a  hundred¬ 
fold. 

21  And  he  said  unto  them, 
“Is  the  lamp  brought  to  be 
put  under  the  bushel,  or 
under  the  bed,  and  not  to  be 


Luke  8. 

11  Now  the  parable  is  this : 
The  seed  is  the  word  of  God. 
12  And  those  by  the  way  side 
are  they  that  have  heard ; 
then  cometh  the  devil,  and 
taketh  away  the  word  from 
their  heart,  that  they  may  not 
believe  and  be  saved.  13  And 
those  on  the  rock  are  they 
which1,  when  they  have 
heard,  receive  the  word  with 
joy;  and  these  have  no  root, 
which1  for  a  while  believe, 
and  in  time  of  temptation  fall 
away.  14  And  that  which  fell 
among  the  thorns,  these  are 
they  that  have  heard,  and  as 
they  go  on  their  way  they  are 
choked  with  cares  and  riches 
and  pleasures  of  this  life,  a/nd 
bring  no  fruit  to  perfection. 
15  And  that  in  the  good 
ground,  these  are  such  as  in 
an  honest  and  good  heart, 
having  heard  the  word,  hold 
it  fast,  and  bring  forth  fruit 
with  patience. 


16  aAnd  no  man,  when  he 
hath  lighted  a  lamp,  covereth

before  them,  saying,  The  king¬

in  his  field:  25  but  while 
men  slept,  his  enemy  came

26  But  when  the  blade  sprang 
up,  and  brought  forth  fruit, 
then  appeared  the  tares  also. 

27  And  the  2  servants  of  the

[Luke  13.] 


Matt.  13. 

And  the  Servants  say  unto 
him,  Wilt  thou  then  that  we 
go  and  gather  them  up?  29 
But  he  saith,  Nay  ;  lest  haply 
while  ye  gather  up  the  tares, 
ye  root  up  the  wheat  with 
them.  30  Let  both  grow  to¬ 
gether  until  the  harvest :  and 
in  the  time  of  the  harvest  I 
will  say  to  the  reapers,  gather 
up  first  the  tares,  and  bind 
them  in  bundles  to  burn 
them :  but  gather  the  wheat 
into  my  barn. 


31  a  Another  parable  set  he 
before  them,  saying,  The 
kingdom  of  heaven  is  like 
unto  a  grain  of  mustard  seed, 
which  a  man  took,  and  sowed 
in  his  field  :  32  which  indeed 
is  less  than  all  seeds ;  but 
when  it  is  grown,  it  is  greater 
than  the  herbs,  and  becometh 
a  tree,  so  that  the  birds  of 
the  heaven  come  and  lodge  in 
the  branches  thereof. 


26  And  he  said,  So  is  the 
kingdom  of  God,  as  if  a  man 
should  cast  seed  upon  the 
earth;  27  and  should  sleep 
and  rise  night  and  day,  and 
the  seed  should  spring  up  and 
grow,  he  knoweth  not  how. 
28  The  earth  2beareth  fruit 
of  herself;  first  the  blade, 
then  the  ear,  then  the  full 
corn 1  in  tne  ear.  29  But  when 
the  fruit  3  is  ripe,  straight¬ 
way  he  4putteth  forth  the 
sickle,  because  the  harvest  is 
come. 

30  a  And  he  said,  How  shall 
we  liken  the  kingdom  of  God? 
or  in  what  parable  shall  we 
set  it  forth?  31  5  It  is  like  a 
grain  of  mustard  seed,  which, 
when  it  is  sown  upon  the 
earth,  though  it  be  less  than 
all  the  seeds  that  are  upon 
the  earth,  32  yet  when  it  is 
sown,  groweth  up,  and  be¬ 
cometh  greater  than  all  the 
herbs,  and  putteth  out  great 
branches ;  so  that  the  birds 
of  the  heaven  can  lodge  under 
the  shadow  thereof.

therefore,  Unto  what  is  the  king¬

shall  I  liken  it?  19  It  is  like

he  unto  them  :  The  kingdom 
of  heaven  is  like  unto  leaven, 
which  a  woman  took,  and  hid 
in  three  Measures  of  meal, 
till  it  was  all  leavened. 

34  All  these  things  spake 

Jesus  in  parables  unto  the 
multitudes ;  and  without  a 
parable  spake  he  nothing

tudes,  and  went  into  the

unto  him,  saying,  Explain 
unto  us  the  parable  of  the 
tares  of  the  field.  37  And 
he  answered  and  said,  He 
that  soweth  the  good  seed  is 
the  Son  of  man ;  38  and  the 
field  is  the  world ;  and  the 
good  seed,  these  are  the  sons 
of  the  kingdom ;  and  the 
tares  are  the  sons  of  the  evil 
one ;  39  and  the  enemy  that 
sowed  them  is  the  devil :  and 
the  harvest  is  4  the  end  of  the 
world ;  and  the  reapers  are 
angels.  40  As  therefore  the 
tares  are  gathered  up  and 
burned  with  fire  ;  so  shall  it 
be  in  4  the  end  of  the  world.

§  59.  THE  GADARENE  DEMONIACS. 


Matt.  8 : 28-34. 

28  And  when  he  was  come 
to  the  other  side  into  the 
country  of  the  Gadarenes, 
there  met  him  two  1  possessed 
with  devils x,  coming  forth 
out  of  the  tombs,  exceeding 
fierce,  so  that  no  man  could 
pass  by  that  way.  29  And 
behold,  they  cried  out,  say¬ 
ing,  What  have  we  to  do  with 
thee,  thou  Son  of  God?  art 
thou  come  hither  to  torment 
us  before  the  time?  30  Now 
there  was  afar  off  from  them 
a  herd  of  many  swine  feeding. 
31  And  the  2  devils1  besought 
him,  saying,  If  thou  cast  us 
out,  send  us  away  into  the 
herd  of  swine.  32  And  he 
said  unto  them,  Go.  And 
they  came  out,  and  went  into 
the  swine :  and  behold,  the 
whole  herd  rushed  down  the 
steep  into  the  sea,  and  per¬ 
ished  in  the  waters.

Mark  5 : 1-20. 

1  And  they  came  to  the 
other  side  of  the  sea,  into  the 
country  of  the  Gerasenes.  2 
And  when  he  was  come  out 
of  the  boat,  straightway  there 
met  him  out  of  the  tombs  a 
man  with  an  unclean  spirit,  3 
who  had  his  dwelling  in  the 
tombs :  and  no  man  could  any 
more  bind  him,  no,  not  with 
a  chain ;  4  because  that  he 
had  been  often  bound  with 
fetters  and  chains,  and  the 
chains  had  been  rent  asunder 
by  him,  and  the  fetters  broken 
in  pieces :  and  no  man  had 
strength  to  tame  him.  5  And 
always,  night  and  day,  in  the 
tombs  and  in  the  mountains, 
he  was  crying  out,  and  cutting 
himself  with  stones.  6  And 
when  he  saw  Jesus  from  afar, 
he  ran  and  worshipped  him  ; 
7  and  crying  out  with  a  loud 
voice,  he  saith,  What  have  I 
to  do  with  thee,  Jesus,  thou 
Son  of  the  Most  High  God? 
I  adjure  thee  by  God,  torment 
me  not.  8  For  he  said  unto 
him,  Come  forth,  thou  un¬ 
clean  spirit,  out  of  the  man. 
9  And  he  asked  him,  What  is 


Luke  8  :  26-39. 

26  And  they  arrived  at  the 
country  of  the  3  Gerasenes, 
which  is  over  against  Galilee. 
27  And  when  he  was  come 
forth  upon  the  land,  there 
met  him  a  certain  man  out  of 
the  city,  who  had  2  devils1; 
and  for  a  long  time  he  had 
worn  no  clothes,  and  abode 
not  in  any  house,  but  in  the 
tombs.  28  And  when  he  saw 
Jesus,  he  cried  out,  and  fell 
down  before  him,  and  with  a 
loud  voice  said,  What  have  I 
to  do  with  thee,  Jesus,  thou 
Son  of  the  Most  High  God? 
I  beseech  thee,  torment  me 
not.  29  For  he  commanded2 
the  unclean  spirit  to  come  out 
from  the  man.  For  4  often¬ 
times  it  had  seized  him  :  and 
he  was  kept  under  guard,  and 
bound  with  chains  and  fet¬ 
ters  ;  and  breaking  the  bands 
asunder,  he  was  driven  of  the 
5  devil 3  into  the  deserts.  30 
And  Jesus  asked  him,  What 
is  thy  name?  And  he  said, 
Legion;  for  many  2 devils1 
were  entered  into  him.  31 
And  they  intreated  him  that 
he  would  not  command  them

would  not  send  them  away  out 
of  the  country.  11  Now  there 
was  there  on  the  mountain

feeding.  12  And  they  be¬ 
sought  him,  saying,  Send  us

gave  them  leave.  And  the 
unclean  spirits  came  out,  and 
entered  into  the  swine :  and 
the  herd  rushed  down  the 
steep  into  the  sea,  in  number 
about  two  thousand ;  and 
they  were  choked2  in  the  sea. 
14  And  they  that  fed  them 
fled,  and  told  it  in  the  city, 
and  in  the  country.  And  they 
came  to  see  what  it  was  that 
had  come  to  pass.  15  And 
they  come  to  Jesus,  and  be¬ 
hold  2  him  that  was  possessed 
with  devils1  sitting,  clothed 
and  in  his  right  mind,  even 
him  that  had  the  legion :  and 
they  were  afraid.  16  And 
they  that  saw  it  declared 
unto  them  how  it  befell  2  him 
that  was  possessed  with 
devils1,  and  concerning  the 
swine.  17  And  they  began  to 
beseech  him  to  depart  from 
their  borders.  18  And  as  he 
was  entering  into  the  boat,  he 
that  had  been  possessed  with 
3  devils1  besought  him  that 
he  might  be  with  him.  19 
And  he  suffered  him  not,  but 
saith  unto  him,  Go  to  thy 
house  unto  thy  friends,  and 
tell  them  how  great  things 


Luke  8. 

to  depart  into  the  abyss.  32 
Now  there  was  there  a  herd 
of  many  swine  feeding  on  the 
mountain  :  and  they  intreat- 
ed  him  that  he  would  give 
them  leave  to  enter  into  them. 
And  he  gave  them  leave.  33 
And  the  3  devils1  came  out 
from  the  man,  and  entered 
into  the  swine :  and  the  herd 
rushed  down  the  steep  into 
the  lake,  and  were  choked2. 


34  And  when  they  that  fed 
them  saw  what  had  come  to 
pass,  they  fled,  and  told  it  in 
the  city  and  in  the  country. 

35  And  they  went  out  to  see 
what  had  come  to  pass ;  and 
they  came  to  Jesus,  and  found 
the  man,  from  whom  the

§  60.  THE  RAISING  OF  JAIRUS’S  DAUGHTER. 


Matt.  9 :  rV  18-26. 

rl  And  he  entered  into  a 
boat,  and  crossed  over,  and 
came  into  his  own  city.1  (§  41) 
18  While  he  spake  these 
things  unto  them,  behold, 
there  came  1  a  ruler,  and  wor¬ 
shipped  him,  saying,  My 
daughter  is  even  now  dead : 
but  come  and  lay  thy  hand 
upon  her,  and  she  shall  live. 
19  And  Jesus  arose,  and  fol¬ 
lowed  him,  and  so  did  his 
disciples. 


20  And  behold,  a  woman, 
who  had  an  issue  of  blood 
twelve  years,  came  behind 
him,  and  touched  the  border 
of  his  garment :  21  for  she 
said  within  herself,  If  I  do  but 
touch  his  garment,  I  shall  be 
2made  whole.  22  But  Jesus 
turning  and  seeing  her  said, 
Daughter,  be  of  good  cheer ; 
thy  faith  hath  3  made  thee 
whole.  And  the  woman  was 
2  made  whole  from  that  hour. 


Mark  5 : 21-43. 

21  And  when  Jesus  had 
crossed  over  again  in  the  boat 
unto  the  other  side,  a  great 
multitude  was  gathered  unto 
him :  and  he  was  by  the  sea. 
22  And  there  cometh  one  of 
the  rulers  of  the  synagogue, 
Jairus  by  name;  and  seeing 
him,  he  falleth  at  his  feet,  23 
and  beseecheth  him  much, 
saying,  My  little  daughter  is 
at  the  point  of  death  :  I  pray 
thee ,  that  thou  come  and  lay 
thy  hands  on  her,  that  she 
may  be  2  made  whole,  and 
live.  24  And  he  went  with 
him ;  and  a  great  multitude 
followed  him,  and  they 
thronged  him. 

25  And  a  woman,  which2 
had  an  issue  of  blood  twelve 
years,  26  and  had  suffered 
many  things  of  many  physi¬ 
cians,  and  had  spent  all  that 
she  had,  and  was  nothing  bet¬ 
tered,  but  rather  grew  worse, 
27  having  heard  the  things 
concerning  Jesus,  came  in  the 
crowd  behind,  and  touched 
his  garment.  28  For  she  said, 
If  I  touch  but  his  garments, 
I  shall  be  2  made  whole.  29 
And  straightway  the  fountain

40  And  as  Jesus  returned, 
the  multitude  welcomed  him ; 
for  they  were  all  waiting  for 
him.  41  And  behold,  there 
came  a  man  named  Jairus, 
and  he  was  a  ruler  of  the  syna¬ 
gogue  :  and  he  fell  down  at 
Jesus’  feet,  and  besought  him 
to  come  into  his  house ;  42 

for  he  had  an  only  daughter, 
about  twelve  years  of  age,  and 
she  lay  a  dying3.  But  as  he 
went  the  multitudes  thronged 
him. 


43  And  a  woman  having  an 
issue  of  blood  twelve  years, 
which  2  4  had  spent  all  her  liv¬ 
ing  upon  physicians, andcould 
not  be  healed  of  any  44  came 
behind  him,  and  touched  the 
border  of  his  garment and 
immediately  the  issue  of  her 
blood  stanched.  45  And  Jesus 
said,  Who  is  it  that  touched 
me  ?  And  when  all  denied,

of  her  blood  was  dried  up; 
and  she  felt  in  her  body  that 
she  was  healed  of  her  1  plague. 

30  And  straightway  Jesus, 
perceiving  in  himself  that  the 
power  proceeding  from  him 
had  gone  forth,  turned  him 
about  in  the  crowd,  and  said, 
Who  touched  my  garments  ? 

31  And  his  disciples  said  unto 
him,  Thou  seest  the  multitude 
thronging  thee,  and  sayest 
thou,  Who  touched  me  ?  32 
And  he  looked  round  about 
to  see  her  that  had  done  this 
thing.  33  But  the  woman 
fearing  and  trembling,  know¬ 
ing  what  had  been  done  to  her, 
came  and  fell  down  before 
him,  and  told  him  all  the 
truth.  34  And  he  said  unto 
her,  Daughter,  thy  faith  hath 
2  made  thee  whole ;  go  in  peace, 
and  be  whole  of  thy  plague, 

35  While  he  yet  spake,  they 
come  from  the  ruler  of  the 
synagogue’s  house ,  saying, 
Thy  daughter  is  dead :  why 
troublest  thou  the  3  Master1 
any  further?  36  But  Jesus, 
4  not  heeding  the  word  spoken, 
saith  unto  the  ruler  of  the 
synagogue,  Fear  not,  only 
believe.  37  And  he  suffered 
no  man  to  follow  with  him, 
save  Peter,  and  James,  and 
John  the  brother  of  James. 
38  And  they  come  to  the 
house  of  the  ruler  of  the  syn¬ 
agogue  ;  and  he  beholdeth  a 
tumult,  and  many  weeping 
and  wailing  greatly.  39  And 
when  he  was  entered  in,  he 
saith  unto  them,  Why  make 
ye  a  tumult,  and  weep  ?  the

crush  thee.  46  But  Jesus  said, 
Some  one  did  touch  me :  for 

1  perceived  that  power  had 
gone  forth  from  me.  47  And 
when  the  woman  saw  that  she 
was  not  hid,  she  came  trem¬ 
bling,  and  falling  down  before 
him  declared  in  the  presence 
of  all  the  people  for  what 
cause  she  touched  him,  and 
how  she  was  healed  immedi¬ 
ately.  48  And  he  said  unto 
her,  Daughter,  thy  faith  hath 

2  made  thee  whole ;  go  in 
peace. 


49  While  he  yet  spake,  there 
cometh  one  from  the  ruler  of 
the  synagogue’s  house ,  saying, 
Thy  daughter  is  dead ;  trouble 
not  the  3  Master1.  50  But 
Jesus  hearing  it,  answered 
him,  Fear  not :  only  believe, 
and  she  shall  be  5  made  whole. 
51  And  when  he  came  to  the 
house,  he  suffered  not  any 
man  to  enter  in  with  him, 
save  Peter,  and  John,  and 
James,  and  the  father  of  the 
maiden  and  her  mother.  52 
And  all  were  weeping,  and  be¬ 
wailing  her :  but  he  said, 
Weep  not ;  for  she  is  not  dead,

were  amazed  straightway  with 
a  great  amazement.  43  And

saying,  Have  mercy  on  us,  thou  son  of  David.  28  And  when  he  was  come  into  the  house,  the 
blind  men  came  to  him  :  and  Jesus  saith  unto  them,  Believe  ye  that  I  am  able  to  do  this  ? 
They  say  unto  him,  Yea,  Lord.  29  Then  touched  he  their  eyes,  saying,  According  to  your 
faith  be  it  done  unto  you.  30  And  their  eyes  wTere  opened.  And  Jesus  2 strictly  charged 
them,  saying,  See  that  no  man  know  it.  31  But  they  went  forth,  and  spread  abroad  his  fame 
in  all  that  land. 

32  And  as  they  went  forth,  behold,  there  was  brought  to  him  a  dumb  man  possessed  with 
a  3devil1.  33  And  when  the  3devil1  was  cast  out,  the  dumb  man  spake  :  and  the  multitudes 
marvelled,  saying,  It  was  never  so  seen  in  Israel.  34  But  the  Pharisees  said,  4  By  the  prince

stood  up  to  read.  17  And  there 
was  delivered  unto  him  5  the  book 
of  the  prophet  Isaiah.  And  he 
opened  the  6 book,  and  found  the 
place  where  it  was  written, 

18  The  Spirit  of  the  Lord  is  upon 

me, 

7  Because  he  anointed  me  to 
preach  sgood  tidings  to  the 
poor: 

He  hath  sent  me  to  proclaim 
release  to  the  captives, 

And  recovering  of  sight  to  the 
blind, 

To  set  at  liberty  them  that 
are  bruised, 

19  To  proclaim  the  acceptable 

year  of  the  Lord. 

20  And  he  closed  the  6  book,  and 
gave  it  back  to  the  attendant, 
and  sat  down :  and  the  eyes  of  e 
all  in  the  synagogue  were  fast¬ 
ened  on  him.  21  And  he  began 
to  say  unto  them,  To-day  hath 
this  scripture  been  fulfilled  in 
your  ears.  22  And  all  bare  him 
vat  ness,  and  wondered  at  the 
words  of  grace  which  proceeded 
out  of  his  mouth :  and  they  said, 
Is  not  this  Joseph’s  son?  23  And 
he  said  unto  them,  Doubtless  ye 
will  say  unto  me  this  parable, 
Physician,  heal  thyself:  whatso¬ 
ever  we  have  heard  done  at  Caper¬ 
naum,  do  also  here  in  thine  own

I  say  unto  you,  No  prophet  is 
acceptable  in  his  own  country.

also  2betrayed  him.  5  These 
twelve  Jesus  sent  forth,  and 
charged  them,  saying, 

Go  not  into  any  way  of  the 
Gentiles,  and  enter  not  into 
any  city  of  the  Samaritans : 

6  but  go  rather  to  the  lost 
sheep  of  the  house  of  Israel.

Matt.  14 : 1-12. 


1  At  that  season  Herod  the 
tetrarch  heard  the  report  con¬ 
cerning  Jesus,  2  and  said 
unto  his  servants,  This  is 
John  the  Baptist ;  he  is  risen 

from  the  dead  ;  and  therefore 
do  these  powers  work  in  him. 

3  For  Herod  had  laid  hold  on 
John,  and  bound  him,  and  put 
him  in  prison  for  the  sake  of 
Herodias,  his  brother  Philip’s 
wife.  4  For  John  said  unto 
him,  It  is  not  lawful  for  thee 
to  have  her.  5  And  when  he 
would  have  put  him  to  death, 
he  feared  the  multitude,  be¬ 
cause  they  counted  him  as  a 
prophet.  6  But  when  Herod’s 
birthday  came,  the  daughter

And  others  said,  It  is  a  pro¬

he  heard  thereof ,  said,  John, 
whom  I  beheaded,  he  is  risen. 
17  For  Herod  himself  had 
sent  forth  and  laid  hold  upon 
John,  and  bound  him  in  prison 
for  the  sake  of  Herodias,  his 
brother  Philip’s  wife  :  for  he 
had  married  her.  18  For  John 
said  unto  Herod,  It  is  not

some,  that  John  was  risen 
from  the  dead  ;  8  and  by  some, 
that  Eli j ah  had  appeared ;  and 
by  others,  that  one  of  the  old 
prophets  was  risen  again.  9 
And  Herod  said,  John  I

about  whom  I  hear  such

Whereupon  he  promised  with 
an  oath  lo  give  her  whatso¬

she,  being  put  forward  by  her 
mother,  saith,  Give  me  here

king  was  grieved  ;  but  for  the

he  commanded  it  to  be  given  ;

his  head  was  brought  in  a

damsel :  and  she  brought  it 
to  her  mother.  12  And  his

the  corpse,  and  buried  him ;

she  could  not ;  20  for  Herod 
feared  John,  knowing  that  he 
was  a  righteous  man  and  a 
holy2,  and  kept  him  safe. 
And  when  he  heard  him,  he 
1  was  much  perplexed  ;  and  he 
heard  him  gladly.  21  And 
when  a  convenient  day  was 
come,  that  Herod  on  his  birth¬

lords,  and  the  2  high  captains, 
and  the  chief  men  of  Galilee ; 
22  and  when  3  the  daughter  of 
Herodias  herself  came  in  and 
danced,  4  she  pleased  Herod 
and  them  that  sat  at  meat 
with  him ;  and  the  king  said 
unto  the  damsel,  Ask  of  me 
whatsoever  thou  wilt,  and  I 
will  give  it  thee.  23  And  he 
sware  unto  her,  Whatsoever 
thou  shalt  ask  of  me,  I  will 
give  it  thee,  unto  the  half  of 
my  kingdom.  24  And  she 
went  out,  and  said  unto  her 
mother,  What  shall  I  ask  ? 
And  she  said.  The  head  of 
John  5 the  Baptist3.  25  And 
she  came  in  straightway  with 
haste  unto  the  king,  and 
asked,  saying,  I  will  that  thou 
forthwith  give  me  in  a 
charger1  the  head  of  John 
5  the  Baptist.  26  And  the 
king  was  exceeding  sorry ; 
but  for  the  sake  of  his  oaths, 
and  of  them  that  sat  at  meat, 
he  would  not  reject  her.  27 
And  straightway  the  king

13  Now  when  Jesus 
heard  it,  he  withdrew 
from  thence  in  a  boat, 
to  a  desert  place  apart : 
and  when  the  multi¬ 
tudes  heard  thereof , 
they  followed  him  1  on 
foot  from  the  cities. 

14  And  he  came  forth, 
and  saw  a  great  mul¬ 
titude,  and  he  had 
compassion  on  them, 
and  healed  their  sick. 

15  And  when  even 
was  come,  the  disci¬

desert,  and  the  time 
is  already  past ;  send 
the  multitudes  away, 
that  they  may  go  into 
the  villages,  and  buy 
themselves  food.  16 
But  Jesus  said  unto 
them,  They  have  no 
need  to  go  away ;  give 
ye  them  to  eat.  17  And 
they  say  unto  him,  We 
have  here  but  five 
loaves,  and  two  fishes.

and  they  told  him 
all  things,  whatsoever 
they  had  done,  and 
whatsoever  they  had 
taught.  31  And  he 
saith  unto  them, 
Come  ye  yourselves 
apart  into  a  desert 
place,  and  rest  a  while. 
For  there  were  many 
coming  and  going,  and 
they  had  no  leisure  so 
much  as  to  eat.  32 
And  they  went  away 
in  the  boat  to  a  desert 
place  apart.  33  And 
the  people  saw  them 
going,  and  many  knew 
them ,  and  they  ran 
there  together2  !on

and  outwent  them.  34 
And  he  came  forth 
and  saw  a  great  mul¬

compassion  on  them, 
because  they  were  as

when  they  were  re¬

him  what  things  they 
had  done.  And  he 
took  them,  and  with¬ 
drew  apart  to  a  city 
called  Bethsaida.  11 
But  the  multitudes 
perceiving  it  followed 
him :  and  he  wel¬

spake  to  them  of  the

them  that  had  need

Now  there  was  much 
grass  in  the  place.  So 
the  men  sat  down,  in 
number  about  five 
thousand.  11  Jesus 
therefore  took  the 
loaves ;  and  having 
given  thanks,  he  dis¬ 
tributed  to  them  that 
were  set  down  ;  like¬ 
wise  also  of  the  fishes 
as  much  as  they 
would.  12  And  when 
they  were  filled,  he 
saith  unto  his  disci¬ 
ples,  Gather  up  the 
broken  pieces  which 
remain  over,  that 
nothing  be  lost.  13 
So  they  gathered 
them  up,  and  filled 
twelve  baskets  with 
broken  pieces  from 
the  five  barley  loaves, 
which  remained  over 
unto  them  that  had 
eaten.

good  cheer ;  it  is  I ; 
be  not  afraid.  28  And 
Peter  answered  him 
and  said,  Lord,  if  it 
be  thou,  bid  me  come 
unto  thee  upon  the 
waters.  29  And  he 
said,  Come.  And  Peter 
went  down  from  the 
boat,  and  walked  upon 
the  waters,  Ho  come 
to  Jesus.  30  But 
when  he  saw  the 
2  wind,  he  was  afraid  ; 
and  beginning  to  sink, 
he  cried  out,  saying, 
Lord,  save  me.  31  And 
immediately  Jesus 
stretched  forth  his 
hand,  and  took  hold 
of  him,  and  saith  unto 
him,  O  thou  of  little 
faith,  wdierefore  didst 
thou  doubt?  32  And 
when  they  were  gone 
up  into  the  boat,  the 
wind  ceased.  33  And 
they  that  were  in  the

thou  art  the  Son  of 
God.

them,  Be  of  good  cheer :

51  And  he  went  up  un¬

and  the  wind  ceased : 
and  they  were  sore 
amazed  in  themselves; 

52  for  they  understood 
not  concerning  the 
loaves,  but  their  heart 
was  hardened. 

53  And  when  they 
had  3  crossed  over, 
they  came  to  the  land

moored  to  the  shore.

§  68.  DISCOURSE  ON  THE  BREAD  OF  LIFE. 

John  6:22-71. 

22  On  the  morrow  the  multitude  which1  stood  on  the  other  side  of  the  sea  saw  that  there 
was  none2  other  2 boat  there,  save  one,  and  that  Jesus  entered  not  with  his  disciples  into  the 
boat,  but  that  his  disciples  went  away  alone  23  (howbeit  there  came  3  boats  from  Tiberias 
nigh  unto  the  place  where  they  ate  the  bread  after  the  Lord  had  given  thanks):  24  when  the 
multitude  therefore  saw  that  J esus  was  not  there,  neither  his  disciples,  they  themselves  got 
into  the  3 boats,  and  came  to  Capernaum,  seeking  Jesus.  25  And  when  they  found  him  on 
the  other  side  of  the  sea,  they  said  unto  him,  Rabbi,  when  earnest  thou  hither?  26  Jesus 
answered  them  and  said,  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you,  Ye  seek  me,  not  because  ye  saw  signs, 
but  because  ye  ate  of  the  loaves,  and  were  filled.  27  Work  not  for  the  meat3  which  perisheth, 
but  for  the  meat8  which  abideth  unto  eternal  life,  which  the  Son  of  man  shall  give  unto  you: 
for  him  the  Father,  even  God,  hath  sealed.  28  They  said  therefore  unto  him,  What  must 
we  do,  that  we  may  work  the  works  of  God?  29  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  them,  This  is 
the  work  of  God,  that  ye  believe  on  him  whom  4  he  hath  sent.  30  They  said  therefore  unto 
him,  What  then  doest  thou  for  a  sign,  that  we  may  see,  and  believe  thee?  what  workest  thou? 
31  Our  fathers  ate  the  manna  in  the  wilderness;  as  it  is  written,  He  gave  them  bread  out  of 
heaven  to  eat.  32  Jesus  therefore  said  unto  them,  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you,  It  was  not 
Moses  that  gave  you  the  bread  out  of  heaven;  but  my  Father  giveth  you  the  true  bread  out 
of  heaven.  33  For  the  bread  of  God  is  that  which  cometh  down  out  of  heaven,  and  giveth 
life  unto  the  world.  34  They  said  therefore  unto  him,  Lord,  evermore  give  us  this  bread. 
35  Jesus  said  unto  them,  1  am  the  bread  of  life:  he  that  cometh  to  me  shall  not  hunger,  and 
he  that  believeth  on  me  shall  never  thirst.  36  But  I  said  unto  you,  that  ye  have  seen  me, 
and  yet  believe  not.  37  All  that  which  the  Father  giveth  me  shall  come  unto  me;  and  him 
that  cometh  to  me  I  will  in  no  wise  cast  out.  38  For  I  am  come  down  from  heaven,  not  to 
do  mine  own  will,  but  the  will  of  him  that  sent  me.  39  And  this  is  the  will  of  him  that 
sent  me,  that  of  all  that  which  he  hath  given  me  I  should  lose  nothing,  but  should  raise  it

up  at  the  last  day.  40  For  this  is  the  will  of  my  Father,  that  every  one  that  beholdeth 
the  Son,  and  belie veth  on  him,  should  have  eternal  life;  and  JI  will  raise  him  up  at  the 
last  day. 

41  The  Jews  therefore  murmured  concerning  him,  because  he  said,  I  am  the  bread  which 
came  down  out  of  heaven.  42  And  they  said,  Is  not  this  Jesus,  the  son  of  Joseph,  whose 
father  and  mother  we  know?  how  doth  he  now  say,  I  am  come  down  out  of  heaven? 
43  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  them,  Murmur  not  among  yourselves.  44  No  man  can  come 
to  me,  except  the  Father  which1  sent  me  draw  him  :  and  I  will  raise  him  up  in  the  last  day. 
45  It  is  written  in  the  prophets,  And  they  shall  all  be  taught  of  God.  Every  one  that  hath 
heard  from  the  Father,  and  hath  learned,  cometh  unto  me.  46  aNot  that  any  man  hath  seen 
the  Father,  save  he  which1  is  from  God,  he  hath  seen  the  Father.  47  Verily,  verily,  I  say 
unto  you,  He  that  believeth  hath  eternal  life.  48  I  am  the  bread  of  life.  49  Your  fathers 
did  eat2  the  manna  in  the  wilderness,  and  they  died.  50  This  is  the  bread  which  cometh 
down  out  of  heaven,  that  a  man  may  eat  thereof,  and  not  die.  51  I  am  the  living  bread 
which  came  down  out  of  heaven  :  if  any  man.eat  of  this  bread,  he  shall  live  for  ever :  yea  and 
the  bread  which  I  will  give  is  my  flesh,  for  the  life  of  the  world. 

52  The  Jews  therefore  strove  one  with  another,  saying,  How  can  this  man  give  us  his 
flesh  to  eat?  53  Jesus  therefore  said  unto  them,  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you,  Except  ye 
eat  the  flesh  of  the  Son  of  man  and  drink  his  blood,  ye  have  not  life  in  yourselves.  54  He 
that  eateth  my  flesh  and  drinketh  my  blood  hath  eternal  life  ;  and  I  will  raise  him  up  at  the 
last  day.  55  For  my  flesh  is  2  meat  indeed,  and  my  blood  is  3  drink  indeed.  56  He  that 
eateth  my  flesh  and  drinketh  my  blood  abideth  in  me,  and  I  in  him.  57  As  the  living  Father 
sent  me,  and  I  live  because  of  the  Father ;  so  he  that  eateth  me,  he  also  shall  live  because  of 
me.  58  This  is  the  bread  which  came  down  out  of  heaven :  not  as  the  fathers  did  eat2,  and 
died:  he  that  eateth  this  bread  shall  live  for  ever.  59  These  things  said  he  in  4 the 
synagogue,  as  he  taught  in  Capernaum. 

60  Many  therefore  of  his  disciples,  when  they  heard  this ,  said,  This  is  a  hard  saying ; 
who  can  hear  5  it?  61  But  Jesus  knowing  in  himself  that  his  disciples  murmured  at  this, 
said  unto  them  Doth  this  cause  you  to  stumble?  62  What  then  if  ye  should  behold  the  Son 
of  man  ascending  where  he  was  before?  63  It  is  the  spirit  that  quickeneth3;  the  flesh 
profiteth  nothing :  the  words  that  I  have  spoken  unto  you  are  spirit,  and  are  life.  64  But 
there  are  some  of  you  that  believe  not.  For  Jesus  knew  from  the  beginning  who  they  were 
that  believed  not,  and  who  it  was  that  should  betray  him.  65  And  he  said,  For  this  cause 
have  I  said  unto  you,  that  no  man  can  come  unto  me,  except  it  be  given  unto  him  of 
the  Father. 

66  Upon  this  many  of  his  disciples  went  back,  and  walked  no  more  with  him.  67  Jesus 
said  therefore  unto  the  twelve,  Would  ye  also  go  away?  68  Simon  Peter  answered  him, 
Lord,  to  whom  shall  we  go?  thou  6  hast  the  words  of  eternal  life.  69  And  we  have  believed 
and  know  that  thou  art  the  Holy  One  of  God.  70  Jesus  answered  them,  Did  not  I  choose 
you  the  twelve,  and  one  of  you  is  a  devil?  71  Now  he  spake  of  Judas  the  son  of  Simon 
Iscariot,  for  he  it  was  that  should  betray  him,  being  one  of  the  twelve.

1  Then  there  come  to  Jesus 
from  Jerusalem  Pharisees  and 
scribes,  saying,  2  Why  do  thy 
disciples  transgress  the  tradi¬ 
tion  of  the  elders?  for  they 
wash  not  their  hands  when 
they  eat  bread.  3  And  he 
answered  and  said  unto  them, 
Why  do  ye  also  transgress  the 
commandment  of  God  because 
of  your  tradition?  4  For  God 
said,  Honour  thy  father  and 
thy  mother :  and,  He  that 
speaketh  evil  of  father  or 
mother,  let  him  1  die  the 
death.  5  But  ye  say,  Whoso¬

his  mother,  That  wherewith 
thou  mightest  have  been  pro¬

scribes,  which1  had  come 
from  Jerusalem,  2  and  had 
seen  that  some  of  his  disciples 
ate  their  bread  with  4  defiled, 
that  is,  unwashen,  hands. 
3  For  the  Pharisees,  and  all 
the  Jews,  except  they  wash 
their  hands  5 diligently,  eat 
not,  holding  the  tradition  of 
the  elders  :  4  and  when  they 
come  from  the  marketplace, 
except  they  6  wash 2  them¬ 
selves,  they  eat  not :  and 
many  other  things  there  be3, 
which  they  have  received  to 
hold,  7  washings  of  cups,  and

And  the  Pharisees  and  the 
scribes  ask  him,  Why  walk 
not  thy  disciples  according  to

§70.  JOURNEY  TOWARD  TYRE  AND  SIDON;  THE  SYROPHCENICIAN  WOMAN’S 

DAUGHTER. 


Matt.  15 : 21-28. 

21  And  Jesus  went  out 
thence,  and  withdrew  into 
the  parts  of  Tyre  and  Sidon. 
22  And  behold,  a  Canaanitish 
woman  came  out  from  those 
borders,  and  cried,  saying, 
Have  mercy  on  me,  O  Lord, 
thou  son  of  David ;  my 
daughter  is  grievously  vexed 
with  a  1  devil1.  23  But  he 
answered  her  not  a  word. 
And  his  disciples  came  and 
besought  him,  saying,  Send 
her  away ;  for  she  crieth  after 
us.  24  But  he  answered  and 
said,  I  was  not  sent  but  unto 
the  lost  sheep  of  the  house  of 
Israel.  25  But  she  came  and 
worshipped  him,  saying,  Lord, 
help  me.  26  And  he  an¬ 
swered  and  said,  It  is  not 
meet  to  take  the  children’s 
2  bread  and  cast  it  to  the 
dogs.  27  But  she  said,  Yea, 
Lord :  for  even  the  dogs  eat  of 
the  crumbs  which  fall  from 
their  masters’  table.  28  Then 
Jesus  answered  and  said  unto 
her,  O  woman,  great  is  thy 
faith :  be  it  done  unto  thee  even 
as  thou  wilt.  And  her  daugh¬ 
ter  was  healed  from  that  hour. 


Mask  7  :  24-30. 

24  And  from  thence  he 
arose,  and  went  away  into 
the  borders  of  Tyre  3  and 
Sidon.  And  he  entered  into 
a  house,  and  would  have  no 
man  know  it :  and  he  could 
not  be  hid.  25  But  straight¬ 
way  a  woman,  whose  little 
daughter  had  an  unclean 
spirit,  having  heard  of  him, 
came  and  fell  down  at  his 
feet.  26  Now  the  woman  was 
a  4  Greek,  a  Syrophoenician 
by  race.  And  she  besought 
him  that  he  would  cast  forth 
the  1  devil1  out  of  her  daugh¬ 
ter.  27  And  he  said  unto  her, 
Let  the  children  first  be  filled : 
for  it  is  not  meet  to  take  the 
children’s  2  bread  and  cast  it 
to  the  dogs.  28  But  she  an¬ 
swered  and  saith  unto  him, 
Yea,  Lord :  even  the  dogs 
under  the  table  eat  of  the 
children’s  crumbs.  29  And 
he  said  unto  her,  For  this 
saying  go  thy  way  ;  the  ^evil1 
is  gone  out  of  thy  daughter. 
30  And  she  went  away  unto 
her  house,  and  found  the 
child  laid  upon  the  bed,  and 
the  1  devil1  gone  out.

§71.  RETURN  THROUGH  DECAPOLIS;  MANY  MIRACLES  OP  HEALING. 


Matt.  15 : 29-31. 

29  And  Jesus  departed 
thence,  and  came  nigh  unto 
the  sea  of  Galilee ;  and  he 
went  up  into  the  mountain, 
and  sat  there.  30  And  there 
came  unto  him  great  multi¬ 
tudes,  having  with  them  the 
lame,  blind,  dumb,  maimed, 
and  many  others,  and  they 
cast  them  down  at  his  feet ; 
and  he  healed  them :  31  inso¬ 
much  that  the  multitude  won¬ 
dered,  when  they  saw  the 
dumb  speaking,  the  maimed 
whole,  and  the  lame  walking, 
and  the  blind  seeing :  and 
they  glorified  the  God  of  Is¬ 
rael. 


Mark  7:31-37. 

31  And  again  he  went  out 
from  the  borders  of  Tyre,  and 
came  through  Sidon  unto  the 
sea  of  Galilee,  through  the 
midst  of  the  borders  of  Decap- 
olis. 


32  And  they  bring  unto 
him  one  that  was  deaf,  and 
had  an  impediment  in  his 
speech ;  and  they  beseech 
him  to  lay  his  hand  upon  him. 
33  And  he  took  him  aside 
from  the  multitude  privately, 
and  put  his  fingers  into  his 
ears,  and  he  spat,  and  touched 
his  tongue ;  34  and  looking 
up  to  heaven,  he  sighed,  and 
saith  unto  him,  Ephphatha, 
that  is,  Be  opened.  35  And 
his  ears  were  opened,  and  the 
bond  of  his  tongue  was  loosed, 
and  he  spake  plain.  36  And 
he  charged  them  that  they 
should  tell  no  man  :  but  the 
more  he  charged  them,  so 
much  the  more  a  great  deal 
they  published  it.  37  And 
they  were  beyond  measure 
astonished,  saying,  He  hath 
done  all  things  well :  he  mak- 
eth  even  the  deaf  to  hear,  and 
the  dumb  to  speak.

§  72.  THE  FEEDING  OF  THE  FOUR  THOUSAND. 


Matt.  15 : 32-38. 

32  And  Jesus  called  unto 
him  his  disciples,  and  said,  I 
have  compassion  on  the  mul¬ 
titude,  because  they  continue 
with  me  now  three  days  and 
have  nothing  to  eat :  and  I 
would  not  send  them  away 
fasting,  lest  haply  they  faint 
in 1  the  way.  33  And  the  dis¬ 
ciples  say  unto  him,  Whence 
should  we  have  so  many 
loaves  in  a  desert  place,  as  to 
fill  so  great  a  multitude?  34 
And  Jesus  saith  unto  them, 
How  many  loaves  have  ye? 
And  they  said,  Seven,  and  a 
few  small  fishes.  35  And  he 
commanded  the  multitude  to 
sit  down  on  the  ground  ;  36 

and  he  took  the  seven  loaves 
and  the  fishes;  and  he  gave 
thanks  and  brake,  and  gave 
to  the  disciples,  and  the  dis¬ 
ciples  to  the  multitudes.  37 
And  they  did  all  eat2,  and 
were  filled  :  and  they  took  up 
that  which  remained  over  of 
the  broken  pieces,  seven  bas¬ 
kets  full.  38  And  they  that 
did  eat  were  four  thousand 
men,  beside 3  women  and  chil¬ 
dren. 


Mark  8 : 1-9. 

1  In  those  days,  when  there 
was  again  a  great  multitude, 
and  they  had  nothing  to  eat, 
he  called  unto  him  his  dis¬ 
ciples,  and  saith  unto  them, 
2  I  have  compassion  on  the 
multitude,  because  they  con¬ 
tinue  with  me  now  three  days, 
and  have  nothing  to  eat :  3 

and  if  I  send  them  away  fast¬ 
ing  to  their  heme,  they  will 
faint  in1  the  way;  and  some 
of  them  are  come  from  far.  4 
And  his  disciples  answered 
him.  Whence  shall  one  be  able 
to  fill  these  men  with  1  bread 
here  in  a  desert  place?  5  And 
he  asked  them,  How  many 
loaves  have  ye?  And  they 
said,  Seven.  6  And  he  com- 
mandeth  the  multitude  to  sit 
down  on  the  ground :  and 
he  took  the  seven  loaves,  and 
having  given  thanks,  he 
brake,  and  gave  to  his  dis¬ 
ciples,  to  set  before  them ; 
and  they  set  them  before  the 
multitude.  7  And  they  had 
a  few  small  fishes  :  and  hav¬ 
ing  blessed  them,  he  com¬ 
manded  to  set  these  also 
before  them.  8  And  they  did 
eat4,  and  were  filled:  and 
they  took  up,  of  broken  pieces 
that  remained  over,  seven 
baskets.  9  And  they  were 
about  four  thousand  :  and  he 
sent  them  away.

them  a  sign  from  heaven.  2

unto  them,  1  When  it  is  even¬

weather :  for  the  heaven  is 
red.  3  And  in  the  morning, 
It  will  be  foul  weather  to-day  : 
for  the  heaven  is  red  and  lowr-

themselves,  saying,  3  We  took

faith,  why  reason  ye  among 
yourselves,  because  ye  have

11  And  the  Pharisees  came 
forth,  and  began  to  question 
with  him,  seeking  of  him  a 
sign  from  heaven,  tempting1 
him.  12  And  he  sighed  deeply 
in  his  spirit,  and  saith,  b  Why 
doth  this  generation  seek  a 
sign?  verily  I  say  unto  you, 
There  shall  no  sign  be  given 
unto  this  generation.  13  And 
he  left  them,  and  again  enter¬ 
ing  into  the  boat  departed  to 
the  other  side. 


14  And  they  forgot  to  take 
bread ;  and  they  had  not  in 
the  boat  with  them  more  than 
one  loaf.  15  And  he  charged 
them,  saying,  cTake  heed,  be¬

Pharisees  and  the  leaven  of 
Herod.  16  And  they  reasoned 
one  with  another,  4  saying,

thee,  Lord :  this  shall  never 
be  unto  thee.  23  But  he 
turned,  and  said  unto  Peter, 
Get  thee  behind  me,  Satan : 
thou  art  a  stumblingblock 
unto  me :  for  thou  mindest 
not  the  things  of  God,  but  the 
things  of  men.  24  Then  said 
Jesus  unto  his  disciples,  aIf 
any  man  would  come  after  me, 
let  him  deny  himself,  and 
take  up  his  cross,  and  follow 
me.  25  b  For  whosoever  would 
save  his  1  life  shall  lose  it  : 
and  whosoever  shall  lose  his 
Uife  for  my  sake  shall  find  it. 

26  For  what  shall  a  man  be 
profited,  if  he  shall  gain  the 
whole  world,  and  forfeit  his 

1  life?  or  what  shall  a  man 
give  in  exchange  for  his  ^ife? 

27  For  the  Son  of  man  shall 
come  in  the  glory  of  his 
Father  with  his  angels;  and 
then  shall  he  render  unto 
every  man  according  to  his 

2  deeds.  28  Verily  I  say  unto 
you,  There  be1  some  of  them 
that  stand  here,  which2  shall 
in  no  wise  taste  of  death,  till 
they  see  the  Son  of  man  com¬ 
ing  in  his  kingdom. 


Mark  8. 

33  But  he  turning  about,  and 
seeing  his  disciples,  rebuked 
Peter,  and  saith,  Get  thee 
behind  me,  Satan  :  for  thou 
mindest  not  the  things  of 
God,  but  the  things  of  men. 

34  And  he  called  unto  him 
the  multitude  with  his  dis¬ 
ciples,  and  said  unto  them, a  If 
any  man  would  come  after  me, 
let  him  deny  himself,  and 
take  up  his  cross,  and  follow 
me.  35  bFor  whosoever  would 
save  his  ^ife  shall  lose  it; 
and  whosoever  shall  lose  his 
1  life  for  my  sake  and  the  gos¬ 
pel’s  shall  save  it.  36  For 
what  doth  it  profit  a  man,  to 
gain  the  whole  world,  and 
forfeit  his  1  life?  37  For 
what  should  a  man  give  in 
exchange  for  his  1  life?  38 
cFor  whosoever  shall  be 
ashamed  of  me  and  of  my 
words  in  this  adulterous  and 
sinful  generation,  the  Son  of 
man  also  shall  be  ashamed  of 
him,  when  he  cometh  in  the

holy  angels.  9 : 1  And  he 
said  unto  them,  Verily  I  say

said  unto  all,  aIf  any  man

deny  himself,  and  take  up  his 
cross  daily,  and  follow  me. 
24  b  For  whosoever  would 
save  his  Uife  shall  lose  it; 
but  whosoever  shall  lose  his

shall  save  it.  25  For  what  is 
a  man  profited,  if  he  gain  the 
whole  world,  and  lose  or  for¬ 
feit  his  own  self?  26  cFor 
whosoever  shall  be  ashamed 
of  me  and  of  my  words,  of 
him  shall  the  Son  of  man  be 
ashamed,  when  he  cometh  in 
his  own  glory,  and  the  glory 
of  the  Father,  and  of  the  holy 
angels.  27  But  I  tell  you  of 
a  truth,  There  be1  some  of

THE  TRANSFIGURATION 


§77 


Matt.  17 : 1-13. 

1  And  after  six  days  Jesus 
taketh  with  him  Peter,  and 
James,  and  John  his  brother, 
and  bringeth  them  up  into  a 
high  mountain  apart :  2  and 

he  was  transfigured  before 
them :  and  his  face  did  shine 
as  the  sun,  and  his  garments 
became  white  as  the  light.  3 
And  behold,  there  appeared 
unto  them  Moses  and  Elijah 
talking  with  him.  4  And 
Peter  answered,  and  said  unto 
Jesus,  Lord,  it  is  good  for  us 
to  be  here  :  if  thou  wilt,  I  will 
make  here  three  1  taber¬ 
nacles  ;  one  for  thee,  and  one 
for  Moses,  and  one  for  Elijah. 
5  While  he  was  yet  speaking, 
behold,  a  bright  cloud  over¬ 
shadowed  them :  and  behold, 
a  voice  out  of  the  cloud,  say¬ 
ing,  This  is  my  beloved  Son, 
in  whom  I  am  well  pleased ; 
hear  ye  him.  6  And  when 
the  disciples  heard  it,  they 
fell  on  their  face,  and  were 
sore  afraid.  7  And  Jesus 
came  and  touched  them  and 
said,  Arise,  and  be  not  afraid. 
8  And  lifting  up  their  eyes, 
they  saw  no  one,  save  Jesus 
only. 


§  77.  THE  TRANSFIGURATION. 
Mark  9 : 2-13. 

2  And  after  six  days  Jesus 
taketh  with  him  Peter,  and 
James,  and  John,  and  bring¬ 
eth  them  up  into  a  high 
mountain  apart  by  them¬ 
selves  :  and  he  was  trans¬ 
figured  before  them  :  3  and 

his  garments  became  glister¬ 
ing,  exceeding  white ;  so  as 
no  fuller  on  earth  can  whiten 
them.  4  And  there  appeared 
unto  them  Elijah  with  Moses  : 
and  they  were  talking  with 
Jesus.  5  And  Peter  answer- 
eth  and  saith  to  Jesus,  Rabbi, 
it  is  good  for  us  to  be  here : 
and  let  us  make  three  1  taber¬ 
nacles;  one  for  thee,  and  one 
for  Moses,  and  one  for  Elijah. 

6  For  he  wist1  not  what  to 
answer  ;  for  they  became  sore 
afraid.  7  And  there  came  a 
cloud  overshadowing  them : 
and  there  came  a  voice  out 
of  the  cloud,  This  is  my  be¬ 
loved  Son  :  hear  ye  him.  8 
And  suddenly  looking  round 
about,  they  saw  no  one  any 
more,  save  Jesus  only  with 
themselves. 


Luke  9 : 28-36. 

28  And  it  came  to  pass 
about  eight  days  after  these 
sayings,  he2  took  with  him 
Peter  and  John  and  James, 
and  went  up  into  the  moun¬ 
tain  to  pray.  29  And  as  he 
was  praying,  the  fashion  of 
his  countenance  was  altered, 
and  his  raiment  became  white 
a7id  dazzling.  30  And  be¬ 
hold,  there  talked  with  him 
two  men,  which 3  were  Moses 
and  Elijah;  31  who  appeared 
in  glory,  and  spake  of  his  2  de¬ 
cease  which  he  was  about  to 
accomplish  at  Jerusalem.  32 
Now  Peter  and  they  that  were 
with  him  were  heavy  with 
sleep:  but  3 when  they  were 
fully  awake,  they  saw  his 
glory,  and  the  two  men  that 
stood  with  him.  33  And  it 
came  to  pass,  as  they  were 
parting  from  him,  Peter  said 
unto  Jesus,  Master,  it  is  good 
for  us  to  be  here :  and  let  us 
make  three  1  tabernacles;  one 
for  thee,  and  one  for  Moses, 
and  one  for  Elijah  :  not  know¬ 
ing  what  he  said.  34  And 
while  he  said  these  things, 
there  came  a  cloud,  and  over¬ 
shadowed  them :  and  they 
feared  as  they  entered  into 
the  cloud.  35  And  a  voice 
came  out  of  the  cloud,  saying, 
This  is  4  my  Son,  my  chosen  : 
hear  ye  him.  36  And  when 
the  voice  5  came,  Jesus  was 
found  alone.  And  they  held 
their  peace,  and  told  no  man 
in  those  days  any  of  the 
things  which  they  had  seen.

Matt.  17 

9  And  as  they  were  coming 
down  from  the  mountain, 
Jesus  commanded  them,  say¬ 
ing,  Tell  the  vision  to  no  man, 
until  the  Son  of  man  be  risen 
from  the  dead.  10  And  his 
disciples  asked  him,  saying, 
Why  then  say  the  scribes  that 
Elijah  must  first  come?  11 
And  he  answered  and  said, 
Elijah  indeed  cometh,  and 
shall  restore  all  things :  12 

but  I  say  unto  you,  that  Elijah 
is  come  already,  and  they 
knew  him  not,  but  did  unto 
him  whatsoever  they  listed1. 
Even  so  shall  the  Son  of  man 
also  suffer  of  them.  13  Then 
understood  the  disciples  that 
he  spake  unto  them  of  John 
the  Baptist. 


Matt.  17 : 14-20. 

14  And  when  they  were 
come  to  the  multitude,  there 
came  to  him  a  man,  kneeling 
to  him,  and  saying,  15  Lord, 
have  mercy  on  my  son :  for 
he  is  epileptic,  and  suffereth 
grievously :  for  oft-times  he 
falleth  into  the  fire,  and  oft- 
times  into  the  water.  16  And 
I  brought  him  to  thy  disciples, 
and  they  could  not  cure  him. 
17  And  Jesus  answered  and 
said,  O  faithless  and  perverse 
generation,  how  long  shall  I 
be  with  you?  how  long  shall 
I  bear  with  you?  bring  him 


Mark  9. 

9  And  as  they  were  coming 
down  from  the  mountain,  he 
charged  them  that  they 
should  tell  no  man  what 
things  they  had  seen,  save 
when  the  Son  of  man  should 
have  risen  again  from  the 
dead.  10  And  they  kept  the 
saying,  questioning  among 
themselves  what  the  rising 
again  from  the  dead  should 
mean.  11  And  they  asked 
him,  saying,  xThe  scribes  say 
that  Elijah  must  first  come2. 
12  And  he  said  unto  them, 
Elijah  indeed  cometh  first, 
and  restoreth  all  things  :  and 
how  is  it  written  of  the  Son 
of  man,  that  he  should  suffer 
many  things  and  be  set  at 
nought?  13  But  I  say  unto 
you,  that  Elijah  is  come,  and 
they  have  also  done  unto  him 
whatsoever  they  listed1,  even 
as  it  is  written  of  him.

Mark  9 : 14-29. 

14  And  when  they  came  to 
the  disciples,  they  saw  a  great 
multitude  about  them,  and 
scribes  questioning  with 
them.  15  And  straightway 
all  the  multitude,  when  they 
saw  him,  were  greatly  amazed, 
and  running  to  him  saluted 
him.  16  And  he  asked  them, 
What  question  ye  with  them? 

17  And  one  of  the  fnultitude 
answered  him,  2 Master3,  I 
brought  unto  thee  my  son, 
which4  hath  a  dumb  spirit; 

18  and  wheresoever  it  taketh 
him,  it  3dasheth  him  down:

37  And  it  came  to  pass,  on 
the  next  day,  when  they  were 
come  down  from  the  mountain, 
a  great  multitude  met  him. 
38  And  behold,  a  man  from 
the  multitude  cried,  saying, 
2 Master3,  I  beseech  thee  to 
look  upon  my  son ;  for  he  is

went  out  from2  him:  and  the 
boy  was  cured  from  that  hour. 
19  Then  came  the  disciples  to 
Jesus  apart,  and  said,  Why 
could  not  we  cast  it  out?  20 
And  he  saith  unto  them,  a  Be¬ 
cause  of  your  little  faith :  for 
verily  I  say  unto  you,  If  ye 
have  faith  as  a  grain  of  mus¬

and  I  spake  to  thy  disciples

and  they  were  not  able.  19 
And  he  answereth  them  and 
saith,  O  faithless  generation, 
how  long  shall  I  be  with  you? 
how  long  shall  I  bear  with 
you?  bring  him  unto  me. 
20  And  they  brought  him 
unto  him  :  and  when  he  saw 
him,  straightway  the  spirit 
3 tare  him  grievously;  and  he 
fell  on  the  ground,  and  wal¬ 
lowed  foaming.  21  And  he 
asked  his  father,  How  long 
time  is  it  since  this  hath  come 
unto  him?  And  he  said,  From 
a  child.  22  And  oft-times  it 
hath  cast  him  both  into  the 
fire  and  into  the  waters,  to 
destroy  him :  but  if  thou 
canst  do  anything,  have  com¬

23  And  Jesus  said  unto  him, 
If  thou  canst!  All  things  are 
possible  to  him  that  believeth. 

24  Straightway  the  father  of 
the  child  cried  out,  and 4 said,. 
I  believe ;  help  thou  mine  un¬

saw  that  a  multitude  came

him,  Thou  dumb  and  deaf

bear  with  you?  bring  hither 
thy  son.  42  And  as  he  was 
yet  a  coming,  the  1  devil1 
5  dashed  him  down,  and  3  tare 
him  grievously.  But  Jesus 
rebuked  the  unclean  spirit, 
and  healed  the  boy,  and  gave

not  that  any  man  should  know

And  when  he  came  into  the 
house,  Jesus  spake  first  to 
him,  saying,  What  thinkest 
thou,  Simon?  the  kings  of  the 
earth,  from  whom  do  they 
receive  toll  or  tribute?  from 
their  sons,  or  from  strangers? 
26  And  when  he  said,  From 
strangers,  Jesus  said  unto 
him,  Therefore  the  sons  are 
free.  27  But,  lest  we  cause

Lord,  have  patience  with  me,

John  7 : 1-52. 

1  And  after  these  things  Jesus  walked  in  Galilee:  for  he  would  not  walk  in  Judaea, 
because  the  Jews  sought  to  kill  him.  2  Now  the  feast  of  the  Jews,  the  feast  of  tabernacles, 
was  at  hand.  3  His  brethren  therefore  said  unto  him,  Depart  hence,  and  go  into  Judaea, 
that  thy  disciples  also  may  behold  thy  works  which  thou  doest.  4  For  no  man  doeth  any¬ 
thing  in  secret,  2  and  himself  seeketh  to  be  known  openly.  If  thou  doest  these  things, 
manifest  thyself  to  the  world.  5  For  even  his  brethren  did  not  believe  on  him.  6  Jesus 
therefore  saith  unto  them,  My  time  is  not  yet  come  ;  but  your  time  is  alway1  ready.  7  The 
world  cannot  hate  you ;  but  me  it  hateth,  because  I  testify  of  it,  that  its  works  are  evil. 
8  Go  ye  up  unto  the  feast:  I  go  not  up  3 yet 2  unto  this  feast;  because  my  time  is  not  yet 
fulfilled.  9  And  having  said  these  things  unto  them,  he  abode  still  in  Galilee. 

10  But  when  his  brethren  were  gone  up  unto  the  feast,  then  went  he  also  up,  not 
publicly,  but  as  it  were  in  secret.  11  The  Jews  therefore  sought  him  at  the  feast,  and  said, 
Where  is  he?  12  And  there  was  much  murmuring  among  the  multitudes  concerning  him: 
some  said,  He  is  a  good  man ;  others  said,  Not  so,  but  he  leadeth  the  multitude  astray. 
13  Howbeit3  no  man  spake  openly  of  him  for  fear  of  the  Jews.

CHRIST  AT  THE  FEAST  OF  TABERNACLES

John  7. 

14  But  when  it  was  now  the  midst  of  the  feast  Jesus  went  up  into  the  temple,  and  taught. 

15  The  Jews  therefore  marvelled,  saying,  How  knoweth  this  man  letters,  having  never  learned? 

16  Jesus  therefore  answered  them,  and  said,  My  teaching  is  not  mine,  but  his  that  sent  me. 

17  If  any  man  willeth  to  do  his  will,  he  shall  know  of  the  teaching,  whether  it  be 1  of  God,  or 
whether  I  speak  from  myself.  18  He  that  speaketh  from  himself  seeketh  his  own  glory :  but 
he  that  seeketh  the  glory  of  him  that  sent  him,  the  same  is  true,  and  no  unrighteousness  is 
in  him.  19  Did  not  Moses  give  you  the  law,  and  yet  none  of  you  doeth  the  law?  Why  seek 
ye  to  kill  me?  20  The  multitude  answered,  Thou  hast  a  1  devil2:  who  seeketh  to  kill  thee? 
21  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  them,  I  did  one  work,  and  ye  all  2  marvel.  22  For  this 
cause  hath  Moses  given3  you  circumcision  (not  that  it  is  of  Moses,  but  of  the  fathers);  and 
on  the  sabbath  ye  circumcise  a  man.  23  If  a  man  receiveth  circumcision  on  the  sabbath, 
that  the  law  of  Moses  may  not  be  broken ;  are  ye  wroth  with  me,  because  I  made  a  man 
every  whit  whole  on  the  sabbath?  24  Judge  not  according  to  appearance,  but  judge 
righteous  judgement. 

25  Some  therefore  of  them  of  Jerusalem  said,  Is  not  this  he  whom  they  seek  to  kill?  26 
And  lo,  he  speaketh  openly,  and  they  say  nothing  unto  him.  Can  it  be  that  the  rulers  indeed 
know  that  this  is  the  Christ?  27  Howbeit  we  know  this  man  whence  he  is  :  but  when  the 
Christ  cometh,  no  one  knoweth  whence  he  is.  28  Jesus  therefore  cried  in  the  temple, 
teaching  and  saying,  Ye  both  know  me,  and  know  whence  I  am;  and  I  am  not  come  of 
myself,  but  he  that  sent  me  is  true,  whom  ye  know  not.  29  I  know  him  ;  because  I  am  from 
him,  and  he  sent  me.  30  They  sought  therefore  to  take  him  :  and  no  man  laid  his  hand  on 
him,  because  his  hour  was  not  yet  come.  31  But  of  the  multitude  many  believed  on  him  ; 
and  they  said,  When  the  Christ  shall  come,  will  he  do  more  signs  than  those  which  this 
man  hath  done?  32  The  Pharisees  heard  the  multitude  murmuring  these  things  concerning 
him ;  and  the  chief  priests  and  the  Pharisees  sent  officers  to  take  him.  33  Jesus  therefore 
said,  Yet  a  little  while  am  I  with  you,  and  I  go  unto  him  that  sent  me.  34  Ye  shall  seek  me, 
and  shall  not  find  me  :  and  where  I  am,  ye  cannot  come.  35  The  Jews  therefore  said  among 
themselves,  Whither  will  this  man  go  that  we  shall  not  find  him?  will  he  go  unto  the  Dis¬ 
persion  3 among  the  Greeks,  and  teach  the  Greeks?  36  What  is  this  word  that  he  said,  Ye 
shall  seek  me,  and  shall  not  find  me  :  and  where  I  am,  ye  cannot  come? 

37  Now  on  the  last  day,  the  great  day  of  the  feast,  Jesus  stood  and  cried,  saying,  If  any 
man  thirst,  let  him  come  unto  me,  and  drink.  38  He  that  believeth  on  me,  as  the  scripture 
hath  said,  out  of  his  belly 4  shall  flow  rivers  of  living  water.  39  But  this  spake  he  of  the 
Spirit,  which  they  that  believed  on  him  were  to  receive  :  4 for  the  Spirit  was  not  yet  given; 
because  Jesus  was  not  yet  glorified.  40  Some  of  the  multitude  therefore,  when  they  heard 
these  words,  said,  This  is  of  a  truth  the  prophet.  41  Others  said,  This  is  the  Christ.  But 
some  said,  What,  doth  the  Christ  come  out  of  Galilee?  42  Plath  not  the  scripture  said  that 
the  Christ  cometh  of  the  seed  of  David,  and  from  Bethlehem,  the  village  where  David  was? 
43  So  there  arose  a  division  in  the  multitude  because  of  him.  44  And  some  of  them  would 
have  taken  him  ;  but  no  man  laid  hands  on  him. 

45  The  officers  therefore  came  to  the  chief  priests  and  Pharisees ;  and  they  said  unto 
them,  Why  did  ye  not  bring  him?  46  The  officers  answered,  Never  man  so  spake.  47  The 
Pharisees  therefore  answered  them,  Are  ye  also  led  astray?  48  Hath  any  of  the  rulers 
believed  on  him,  or  of  the  Pharisees?  49  But  this  multitude  which5  knoweth  not  the  law

them),  51  Doth  our  law  judge  a  man,  except  it  first  hear  from  himself  and  know  what  he 
doeth?  52  They  answered  and  said  unto  him,  Art  thou  also  of  Galilee?  Search,  and  ^ee 
that  out  of  Galilee  ariseth  no  prophet. 

§  83.  THE  WOMAN  TAKEN  IN  ADULTERY. 

John  7 : 53—8 : 11. 

53  2  And  they  went  every  man  unto  his  own  house :  8:1  but  Jesus  went  unto  the  mount  of  OliveB. 
2  And  early  in  the  morning  he  came  again  into  the  temple,  and  all  the  people  came  unto  him ;  and  he 
sat  down,  and  taught  them.  3  And  the  scribes  and  the  Pharisees  bring  a  woman  taken  in  adultery ;  and 
having  set  her  in  the  midst,  4  they  say  unto  him,  3  Master1,  this  woman  hath  been  taken  in  adultery, 
in  the  very  act.  5  Now  in  the  law  Moses  commanded  us  to  stone  such:  what  then  sayest  thou  of  her? 
6  And  this  they  said,  4  tempting2  him,  that  they  might  have  whereof  to  accuse  him.  But  Jesus  stooped 
down,  and  with  his  finger  wrote  on  the  ground.  7  But  when  they  continued  asking  him,  he  lifted  up 
himself,  and  said  unto  them,  He  that  is  without  sin  among  you,  let  him  first  cast  a  stone  at  her.  8  And 
again  he  stooped  down,  and  with  his  finger  wrote  on  the  ground.  9  And  they,  when  they  heard  it,  went 
out  one  by  one,  beginning  from  the  eldest,  even  unto  the  last :  and  Jesus  was  left  alone,  and  the  woman, 
where  she  was,  in  the  midst.  10  And  Jesus  lifted  up  himself,  and  said  unto  her,  Woman,  where  are 
they?  did  no  man  condemn  thee?  11  And  she  said.  No  man,  Lord.  And  Jesus  said,  Neither  do  I 
condemn  thee :  go  thy  way ;  from  henceforth  sin  no  more. 

§  84.  DISCOURSE  ON  THE  LIGHT  OF  THE  WORLD, 

John  8 : 12-30. 

12  Again  therefore  Jesus  spake  unto  them,  saying,  I  am  the  light  of  the  world :  he  that 
followeth  me  shall  not  walk  in  the  darkness,  but  shall  have  the  light  of  life.  13  The 
Pharisees  therefore  said  unto  him,  Thou  bearest  witness  of  thyself ;  thy  witness  is  not  true. 
14  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  them,  Even  if  I  bear  witness  of  myself,  my  witness  is  true ; 
for  I  know  whence  I  came,  and  whither  I  go ;  but  ye  know  not  whence  I  come,  or  whither 
I  go.  15  Ye  judge  after  the  flesh  ;  I  judge  no  man.  16  Yea  and  if  I  judge,  my  judgement  is 
true ;  for  I  am  not  alone,  but  I  and  the  Father  that  sent  me.  17  Yea  and  in  your  law  it  is 
written,  that  the  witness  of  two  men  is  true.  18  I  am  he  that  beareth  witness  of  myself,  and 
the  Father  that  sent  me  beareth  witness  of  me.  19  They  said  therefore  unto  him,  Where  is 
thy  father3?  Jesus  answered,  Ye  know  neither  me,  nor  my  Father  :  if  ye  knew  me,  ye  would 
know  my  Father  also.  20  These  words  spake  he  in  the  treasury,  as  he  taught  in  the  temple  : 
and  no  man  took  him  ;  because  his  hour  was  not  yet  come. 

21  He  said  therefore  again  unto  them,  I  go  away,  and  ye  shall  seek  me,  and  shall  die  in 
your  sin :  whither  I  go,  ye  cannot  come.  22  The  Jews  therefore  said,  Will  he  kill  himself, 
that  he  saith,  Whither  I  go,  ye  cannot  come?  23  And  he  said  unto  them,  Ye  are  from 
beneath  ;  I  am  from  above  :  ye  are  of  this  world  ;  I  am  not  of  this  world.  24  I  said  therefore 
unto  you,  that  ye  shall  die  in  your  sins  :  for  except  ye  believe  that  5 1  am  lie ,  ye  shall  die  in 
your  sins.  25  They  said  therefore  unto  him,  Who  art  thou?  Jesus  said  unto  them,  6 Even 
that  which  I  have  also  spoken  unto  you  from  the  beginning.  26  I  have  many  things  to  speak 
and  to  judge  concerning  you :  howbeit  he  that  sent  me  is  true  ;  and  the  things  which  I  heard 
from  him,  these  speak  I  7  unto  the  world.  27  They  perceived  not  that  he  spake  to  them  of 
the  Father.  28  Jesus  therefore  said,  When  ye  have  lifted  up  the  Son  of  man,  then  shall  ye

know  that  1 1  am  he ,  and  that  I  do  nothing  of  myself,  but  as  the  Father  taught  me,  I  speak 
these  things.  29  And  he  that  sent  me  is  with  me  ;  he  hath  not  left  me  alone ;  for  I  do  always 
the  things  that  are  pleasing  to  him.  30  As  he  spake  these  things,  many  believed  on  him. 

§  85.  DISCOURSE  ON  SPIRITUAL  FREEDOM. 

John  8:31-59. 

31  Jesus  therefore  said  to  those  Jews  which1  had  believed  him,  If  ye  abide  in  my  word, 
then  are  ye  truly  my  disciples ;  32  and  ye  shall  know  the  truth,  and  the  truth  shall  make 

you  free.  33  They  answered  unto  him,  We  be2  Abraham’s  seed,  and  have  never  yet  been  in 
bondage  to  any  man:  how  sayest  thou,  Ye  shall  be  made  free?  34  Jesus  answered  them, 
Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you,  Every  one  that  committeth  sin  is  the  bondservant  of  sin.  35 
And  the  bondservant  abideth  not  in  the  house  for  ever :  the  son  abideth  for  ever.  36  If 
therefore  the  Son  shall  make  you  free,  ye  shall  be  free  indeed.  37  I  know  that  ye  are 
Abraham’s  seed ;  yet  ye  seek  to  kill  me,  because  my  word  2 hath  not  free  course  in  you.  38 
I  speak  the  things  which  I  have  seen  with  zmy  Father :  and  ye  also  do  the  things  which  ye 
heard  from  your  father.  39  They  answered  and  said  unto  him,  Our  father  is  Abraham. 
Jesus  saith  unto  them,  If  ye  4  were  Abraham’s  children,  5  ye  would  do  the  works  of  Abraham. 
40  But  now  ye  seek  to  kill  me,  a  man  that  hath  told  you  the  truth,  which  I  heard  from  God : 
this  did  not  Abraham.  41  Ye  do  the  works  of  your  father.  They  said  unto  him,  We  were 
not  born  of  fornication;  we  have  one  Father,  even  God.  42  Jesus  said  unto  them,  If  God 
were  your  Father,  ye  would  love  me  :  for  I  came  forth  and  am  come  from  God ;  for  neither 
have  I  come  of  myself,  but  he  sent  me.  43  Why  do  ye  not  6  understand  my  speech?  Even 
because  ye  cannot  hear  my  word.  44  Ye  are  of  your  father  the  devil,  and  the  lusts  of  your 
father  it  is  your  will  to  do.  He  was  a  murderer  from  the  beginning,  and  7  stood 3  not  in  the 
truth,  because  there  is  no  truth  in  him.  8  When  he  speaketh  a  lie,  he  speaketh  of  his  own : 
for  he  is  a  liar,  and  the  father  thereof.  45  But  because  I  say  the  truth,  ye  believe  me  not. 
46  Which  of  you  convicteth  me  of  sin?  If  I  say  truth,  why  do  ye  not  believe  me?  47  He 
that  is  of  God  heareth  the  words  of  God  :  for  this  cause  ye  hear  them  not,  because  ye  are  not 
of  God.  48  The  Jews  answered  and  said  unto  him,  Say  we  not  well  that  thou  art  a  Samaritan, 
and  hast  a  9devil4?  49  Jesus  answered,  I  have  not  a  9devil4;  but  I  honour  my  Father,  and 
ye  dishonour  me.  50  But  I  seek  not  mine  own  glory  :  there  is  one  that  seeketh  and  judgeth. 
51  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you,  If  a  man  keep  my  word,  he  shall  never  see  death.  52  The 
Jews  said  unto  him.  Now  we  know  that  thou  hast  a  9devil4.  Abraham  is  dead5,  and  the 
prophets ;  and  thou  sayest,  If  a  man  keep  my  word,  he  shall  never  taste  of  death.  53  Art 
thou  greater  than  our  father  Abraham,  which6  is  dead5?  and  the  prophets  are  dead5:  whom 
makest  thou  thyself?  54  Jesus  answered,  If  I  glorify  myself,  my  glory  is  nothing :  it  is  my 
Father  that  glorifieth  me  ;  of  whom  ye  say,  that  he  is  your  God  ;  55  and  ye  have  not  known 
him  :  but  I  know  him ;  and  if  I  should  say,  I  know  him  not,  I  shall  be  like  unto  you,  a  liar  : 
but  I  know  him,  and  keep  his  word.  56  Your  father  Abraham  rejoiced  10  to  see  my  day;  and 
he  saw  it,  and  was  glad.  57  The  Jews  therefore  said  unto  him,  Thou  art  not  yet  fifty  years 
old,  and  hast  thou  seen  Abraham?  58  Jesus  said  unto  them,  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you, 
Before  Abraham  11  was7, 1  am.  59  They  took  up  stones  therefore  to  cast  at  him  :  but  Jesus 
12  hid  himself,  and  went  out  of  the  13  temple.

THE  PEREAN  MINISTRY. 

From  the  Final  Departure  from  Galilee  until  the  Final  Arrival  at  Jerusalem, 


§  86.  THE  FINAL  DEPARTURE  FROM  GALILEE. 


Matt.  19 : 1,  2. 

Matt.  8 :  [18]  19-22. 

1  And  it  came  to  pass 
when  Jesus  had  finished  these 
words,  he  departed  from  Gali¬ 
lee,  and  came  into  the  borders 
of  Judaea  beyond  Jordan1;  2 
and  great  multitudes  followed 
him ;  and  he  healed  them 
there.  (+§110) 


[8:18  Now  when  Jesus  saw 
great  multitudes  about  him, 
he  gave  commandment  to  de¬ 
part  unto  the  other  side.]  19 
And  there  came  1  a  scribe,  and 
said  unto  him,  2 Master2,  I 
will  follow  thee  whithersoever 
thou  goest.  20  And  Jesus 
saith  unto  him,  The  foxes 
have  holes,  and  the  birds  of 
the  heaven  have  3  nests ;  but 


Mark  10:1. 

1  And  he  arose  from  thence, 
and  cometh  into  the  borders 
of  Judaea  and  beyond  Jordan1; 
and  multitudes  come  together 
unto  him  again ;  and,  as  he 
was  wont,  he  taught  them 
again. 


Luke  9:51-62. 

51  And  it  came  to  pass, 
when  the  days  4  were  well- 
nigh  come  that  he  should  be 
received  up,  he  stedfastly  set 
his  face  to  go  to  Jerusalem, 
52  and  sent  messengers  be¬ 
fore  his  face  :  and  they  went, 
and  entered  into  a  village  of 
the  Samaritans,  to  make  ready 
for  him.  53  And  they  did  not 
receive  him,  because  his  face 
was  as  though  he  were  going  to 
Jerusalem.  54  And  when  his 
disciples  James  and  John  saw 
this,  they  said,  Lord,  wfilt  thou 
that  we  bid  fire  to-come  down 
from  heaven,  and  consume 
5 them?  55  But  he  turned, 
and  rebuked  6  them.  56  And 
they  went  to  another  village. 

57  And  as  they  went  in3 
the  way,  a  certain  man  said 
unto  him,  I  will  follow  thee 
whithersoever  thou  goest.  58 
And  Jesus  said  unto  him, 
The  foxes  have  holes,  and  the 
birds  of  the  heaven  have 
3 nests;  but  the  Son  of  man 
hath  not  where  to  lay  his 
head.  59  And  he  said  unto 
another,  Follow  me.  But  he

said,  Lord,  suffer  me  first  to 
go  and  bury  my  father.  60 
But  he  said  unto  him,  Leave 
the  dead  to  bury  their  own 
dead ;  but  go  thou  and  pub¬ 
lish  abroad  the  kingdom  of 
God.  61  And  another  also 
said,  I  will  follow  thee,  Lord ; 
but  first  suffer  me  to  bid  fare¬ 
well  to  them  that  are  at  my 
house.  62  But  Jesus  said 
unto  him,  No  man,  having 
put  his  hand  to  the  plough,

§87.  THE  MISSION  OF  THE  SEVENTY. 

Luke  10 : 1-24. 

1  Now  after  these  things  the  Lord  appointed  seventy  others,  and  sent  them  two  and  two 
before  his  face  into  every  city  and  place,  whither  he  himself  was  about  to  come.  2  aAnd  he 
said  unto  them,  The  harvest1  is  plenteous,  but  the  labourers  are  few :  pray  ye  therefore  the 
Lord  of  the  harvest,  that  he  send  forth  labourers  into  his  harvest.  3  b  Go  your  ways :  behold, 
I  send  you  forth  as  lambs  in  the  midst  of  wolves.  4  Carry  no  purse,  no  wallet,  no  shoes  :  and 
salute  no  man  on  the  way.  5  And  into  whatsoever  house  ye  shall  2  enter,  first  say,  Peace  be 
to  this  house.  6  And  if  a  son  of  peace  be  there,  your  peace  shall  rest  upon  3 him  :  but  if  not, 
it  shall  turn  to  you  again.  7  And  in  that  same  house  remain,  eating  and  drinking  such  things 


the  Son  of  man  hath  not 
where  to  lay  his  head.  21 
And  another  of  the  disciples 
said  unto  him,  Lord,  suffer 
me  first  to  go  and  bury  my 
father.  22  But  Jesus  eaith 
unto  him,  Follow  me ;  and 
leave  the  dead  to  bury  their 
own  dead.  (-f-  §  58)

a  Matt.  9:37,  38.  Then  saith  he  unto  his  disciples,  The  harvest  truly  is  plenteous,  but  the  labourers  are  few. 
38  Pray  ye  therefore  the  Lord  of  the  harvest,  that  he  send  forth  labourers  into  his  harvest.  (§64) 

bMatt.  10:7-16.  And  as  ye  go,  preach,  saying,  The  kingdom  of  heaven  is  at  hand.  8  Heal  the  sick,  raise 
the  dead,  cleanse  the  lepers,  cast  out  devils:  freely  ye  received,  freely  give.  9  Get  you  no  gold,  nor  silver,  nor 
brass  in  your  purses;  10  no  wallet  for  your  journey,  neither  two  coats,  nor  shoes,  nor  staff:  for  the  labourer  is. 
worthy  of  his  food.  11  And  into  whatsoever  city  or  village  ye  shall  enter,  search  out  who  in  it  is  worthy;  and 
there  abide  till  ye  go  forth.  12  And  as  ye  enter  into  the  house,  salute  it.  13  And  if  the  house  be  worthy,  let 
your  peace  come  upon  it:  but  if  it  be  not  worthy,  let  your  peace  return  to  you.  14  And  whosoever  shall  not 
receive  you,  nor  hear  your  words,  as  ye  go  forth  out  of  that  house  or  that  city,  shake  off  the  dust  of  your  feet. 
15  Verily  I  say  unto  you,  It  shall  be  more  tolerable  for  the  land  of  Sodom  and  Gomorrah  in  the  day  of  judge¬ 
ment,  than  for  that  city. 

16  Behold,  I  send  you  forth  as  sheep  in  the  midst  of  wolves :  be  ye  therefore  wise  as  serpents,  and  harmless 
as  doves.  (§64) 

b  Mark  6 : 8-11.  And  he  charged  them  that  they  should  take  nothing  for  their  journey,  save  a  staff  only ;  no 
bread,  no  wallet,  no  money  in  their  purse;  9  but  to  go  shod  with  sandals:  and,  said  he ,  put  not  on  two  coats. 
10  And  he  said  unto  them,  Wheresoever  ye  enter  into  a  house,  there  abide  till  ye  depart  thence.  11  And  what¬ 
soever  place  shall  not  receive  you,  and  they  hear  you  not,  as  ye  go  forth  thence,  shake  off  the  dust  that  is  under 
your  feet  for  a  testimony  unto  them.  (§64) 

bLuke  9:  3-5.  And  he  said  unto  them,  Take  nothing  for  your  journey,  neither  staff,  nor  wallet,  nor  bread, 
nor  money ;  neither  have  two  coats.  4  And  into  whatsoever  house  ye  enter,  there  abide,  and  thence  depart. 
5  And  as  many  as  receive  you  not,  when  ye  depart  from  that  city,  shake  off  the  dust  from  your  feet  for  a  testi¬ 
mony  against  them.  (§64)

§88.  THE  GOOD  SAMARITAN, 

Luke  10 : 25-37, 

25  And  behold,  a  certain  lawyer  stood  up  and  tempted1  him,  saying,  faster2,  what  shall 
I  do  to  inherit  eternal  life  ?  26  And  he  said  unto  him,  What  is  written  in  the  law  ?  how 
readest  thou  ?  27  And  he  answering  said,  Thou  shalt  love  the  Lord  thy  God  2  with  all  thy 
heart,  and  with  all  thy  soul,  and  with  all  thy  strength,  and  with  all  thy  mind  ;  and  thy  neigh¬ 
bour  as  thyself.  28  And  he  said  unto  him,  Thou  hast  answered  right:  this  do,  and  thou 
shalt  live.  29  But  he,  desiring  to  justify  himself,  said  unto  Jesus,  And  who  is  my  neighbour  ? 
30  Jesus  made  answer  and  said,  A  certain  man  was  going  down  from  Jerusalem  to  Jericho; 
and  he  fell  among  robbers,  which3  both  stripped  him  and  beat  him,  and  departed,  leaving 
him  half  dead.  31  And  by  chance  a  certain  priest  was  going  down  that  way :  and  when  he 
saw  him,  he  passed  by  on  the  other  side.  32  And  in  like  manner  a  Levite  also,  when  he  came 
to  the  place,  and  saw  him,  passed  by  on  the  other  side.  33  But  a  certain  Samaritan,  as  he 
journeyed,  came  where  he  was :  and  when  he  saw  him,  he  was  moved  with  compassion,  34 
and  came  to  him,  and  bound  up  his  wounds,  pouring  on  them  oil  and  wine ;  and  he  set  him 
on  his  own  beast,  and  brought  him  to  an  inn,  and  took  care  of  him.  35  And  on  the  morrow 
he  took  out  two  3 pence4,  and  gave  them  to  the  host,  and  said,  Take  care  of  him ;  and  whatso¬ 
ever  thou  spendest  more,  I,  when  I  come  back  again,  will  repay  thee.  36  Which  of  these 
three,  thinkest  thou,  proved  neighbour  unto  him  that  fell  among  the  robbers  ?  37  And  he 
said,  He  that  shewed  mercy  on  him.  And  Jesus  said  unto  him,  Go,  and  do  thou  likewise.

38  Now  as  they  went  on  their  way,  he  entered  into  a  certain  village  :  and  a  certain  woman 
named  Martha  received  him  into  her  house.  39  And  she  had  a  sister  called  Mary,  which3 
also  sat  at  the  Lord’s  feet,  and  heard  his  word.  40  But  Martha  was  4  cumbered  about  much 
serving ;  and  she  came  up  to  him,  and  said,  Lord,  dost  thou  not  care  that  my  sister  did  leave 
me  to  serve  alone  ?  bid  her  therefore  that  she  help  me.  41  But  the  Lord  answered  and  said 
unto  her, 5  Martha,  Martha,  thou  art  anxious  and  troubled  about  many  things :  42  6  but  one 
thing  is  needful ;  for  Mary  hath  chosen  the  good  part,  which  shall  not  be  taken  away  from  her.

John  9. 

3  Jesus  answered,  Neither  did  this  man  sin,  nor  his  parents :  but  that  the  works  of  God 
should  be  made  manifest  in  him.  4  We  must  work  the  works  of  him  that  sent  me,  while  it 
is  day:  the  night  cometh,  when  no  man  can  work.  5  When  I  am  in  the  world,  I  am  the  light 
of  the  world.  6  When  he  had  thus  spoken,  he  spat  on  the  ground,  and  made  clay  of  the 
spittle,  1  and  anointed  his  eyes  with  the  clay,  7  and  said  unto  him,  Go,  wash  in  the  pool  of 
Siloam  (which  is  by  interpretation,  Sent).  He  went  away  therefore,  and  washed,  and  came 
seeing.  8  The  neighbours  therefore,  and  they  which1  saw  him  aforetime,  that  he  was  a 
beggar,  said,  Is  not  this  he  that  sat  and  begged  ?  9  Others  said,  It  is  he  :  others  said,  No, 
but  he  is  like  him.  He  said,  I  am  he.  10  They  said  therefore  unto  him,  How  then  were 
thine  eyes  opened  ?  11  He  answered.  The  man  that  is  called  Jesus  made  clay,  and  anointed 
mine  eyes,  and  said  unto  me,  Go  to  Siloam,  and  wash :  so  I  went  away  and  washed,  and  I 
received  sight.  12  And  they  said  unto  him,  Where  is  he  ?  He  saith,  I  know  not. 

13  They  bring  to  the  Pharisees  him  that  aforetime  was  blind.  14  Now  it  was  the  sabbath 
on  the  day  when  Jesus  made  the  clay,  and  opened  his  eyes.  15  Again  therefore  the  Pharisees 
also  asked  him  how  he  received  his  sight.  And  he  said  unto  them,  He  put  clay  upon  mine 
eyes,  and  I  washed,  and  do  see2.  16  Some  therefore  of  the  Pharisees  said,  This  man  is  not 
from  God,  because  he  keepeth  not  the  sabbath.  But  others  said,  How  can  a  man  that  is  a 
sinner  do  such  signs  ?  And  there  was  a  division  among  them.  17  They  say  therefore  unto 
the  blind  man  again,  What  sayest  thou  of  him,  in  that  he  opened  thine  eyes  ?  And  he  said, 
He  is  a  prophet.  18  The  Jews  therefore  did  not  believe  concerning  him,  that  he  had  been 
blind,  and  had  received  his  sight,  until  they  called  the  parents  of  him  that  had  received  his 
sight,  19  and  asked  them,  saying,  Is  this  your  son,  who  ye  say  was  born  blind  ?  how  then 
doth  he  now  see?  20  His  parents  answered  and  said,  We  know  that  this  is  our  son,  and 
that  he  was  born  blind  :  21  but  how  he  now  seeth,  we  know  not ;  or  who  opened  his  eyes, 
we  know  not :  ask  him ;  he  is  of  age  ;  he  shall  speak  for  himself.  22  These  things  said  his 
parents,  because  they  feared  the  Jews:  for  the  Jews  had  agreed  already,  that  if  any  man 
should  confess  him  to  he  Christ,  he  should  be  put  out  of  the  synagogue.  23  Therefore  said 
his  parents,  He  is  of  age ;  ask  him.  24  So  they  called  a  second  time  the  man  that  was  blind, 
and  said  unto  him,  Give  glory  to  God ;  we  know  that  this  man  is  a  sinner.  25  He  therefore 
answered,  Whether  he  be3  a  sinner,  I  know  not :  one  thing  I  know,  that,  whereas  I  was  blind, 
now  I  see.  26  They  said  therefore  unto  him,  What  did  he  to  thee  ?  how  opened  he  thine  eyes  ? 
27  He  answered  them,  I  told  you  even  now,  and  ye  did  not  hear :  wherefore  would  ye  hear  it 
again?  would  ye  also  become  his  disciples?  28  And  they  reviled  him,  and  said,  Thou  art 
his  disciple,  but  we  are  disciples  of  Moses.  29  We  know  that  God  hath  spoken  unto  Moses : 
but  as  for  this  man,  we  know  not  whence  he  is.  30  The  man  answered  and  said  unto  them. 
Why,  herein  is  the  marvel,  that  ye  know  not  whence  he  is,  and  yet  he  opened  mine  eyes.  31 
We  know  that  God  heareth  not  sinners :  but  if  any  man  be  a  worshipper  of  God,  and  do  his 
will,  him  he  heareth.  32  Since  the  world  began  it  was  never  heard  that  any  one  opened  the 
eyes  of  a  man  born  blind.  33  If  this  man  were  not  from  God,  he  could  do  nothing.  34  They 
answered  and  said  unto  him,  Thou  wast  altogether  born  in  sins,  and  dost  thou  teach  us? 
And  they  cast  him  out. 

35  Jesus  heard  that  they  had  cast  him  out ;  and  finding  him,  he  said,  Dost  thou  believe  I 
on  2 the  Son  of  God?  36  He  answered  and  said,  And  who  is  he,  Lord,  that  I  may  believe  on 
him?  37  Jesus  said  unto  him,  Thou  hast  both  seen  him,  and  he  it  is  that  speaketh  with 
thee.  38  And  he  said,  Lord,  I  believe.  And  he  worshipped  him.  39  And  Jesus  said,  For

and  said  unto  him,  Are  we  also  blind?  41  Jesus  said  unto  them,  If  ye  were  blind,  ye  would 
have  no  sin  :  but  now  ye  say,  We  see  :  your  sin  remaineth. 


§  91  THE  GOOD  SHEPHERD. 

John  10 : 1-21. 

1  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you,  He  that  entereth  not  by  the  door  into  the  fold  of  the 
sheep,  but  climbeth  up  some  other  way,  the  same  is  a  thief  and  a  robber.  2  But  he  that 
entereth  in  by  the  door  is  1  the  shepherd  of  the  sheep.  3  To  him  the  porter  openeth ;  and 
the  sheep  hear  his  voice  :  and  he  calleth  his  own  sheep  by  name,  and  leadeth  them  out.  4 
When  he  hath  put  forth  all  his  own,  he  goeth  before  them,  and  the  sheep  follow  him  :  for  they 
know  his  voice.  5  And  a  stranger  will  they  not  follow,  but  will  flee  from  him :  for  they 
know  not  the  voice  of  strangers.  6  This  2  parable  spake  Jesus  unto  them  :  but  they  under¬ 
stood  not  what  things  they  were  which  he  spake  unto  them. 

7  Jesus  therefore  said  unto  them  again,  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you,  I  am  the  door  of 
the  sheep.  8  All  that  came  before  me  are  thieves  and  robbers  :  but  the  sheep  did  not  hear 
them.  9  I  am  the  door :  by  me  if  any  man  enter  in,  he  shall  be  saved,  and  shall  go  in  and 
go  out,  and  shall  find  pasture.  10  The  thief  cometh  not,  but  that  he  may  steal,  and  kill,  and 
destroy:  I  came  that  they  may  have  life,  and  may  3 have  it  abundantly.  11  I  am  the  good 
shepherd :  the  good  shepherd  layeth  down  his  life  for  the  sheep.  12  He  that  is  a  hireling, 
and  not  a  shepherd,  whose  own  the  sheep  are  not,  beholdeth  the  wolf  coming,  and  leaveth 
the  sheep,  and  fleeth,  and  the  wolf  snatcheth  them,  and  scattereth  them :  13  he  fleeth 

because  he  is  a  hireling,  and  careth  not  for  the  sheep.  14  I  am  the  good  shepherd ;  and  I 
know  mine  own,  and  mine  own  know  me,  15  even  as  the  Father  knoweth  me,  and  I  know 
the  Father ;  and  I  lay  down  my  life  for  the  sheep.  16  And  other  sheep  I  have,  which  are 
not  of  this  fold:  them  also  I  must  4 bring,  and  they  shall  hear  my  voice;  and  5 they  shall 
become  one  flock,  one  shepherd.  17  Therefore  doth  the  Father  love  me,  because  I  lay  down 
my  life,  that  I  may  take  it  again.  18  No  one  6taketh  it  away  from  me,  but  I  lay  it  down  of 
myself.  I  have  7power  to  lay  it  down,  and  I  have  7  power  to  take  it  again.  This  command¬ 
ment  received  I  from  my  Father. 

19  There  arose  a  division  again  among  the  Jews  because  of  these  words.  20  And  many 
of  them  said,  He  hath  a  8 devil3,  and  is  mad  ;  why  hear  ye  him?  21  Others  said,  These  are 
not  the  sayings  of  one  possessed  with  a  8 devil3.  Can  a  8 devil 3  open  the  eyes  of  the  blind?

22  9And  it  was  the  feast  of  the  dedication  at  Jerusalem  :  it  was  winter  ;  23  and  Jesus 
was  walking  in  the  temple  in  Solomon’s  porch.  24  The  Jews  therefore  came  roundabout 
him,  and  said  unto  him,  How  long  dost  thou  hold  us  in  suspense?  If  thou  art  the  Christ, 
tell  us  plainly.  25  Jesus  answered  them,  I  told  you,  and  ye  believe  not :  the  works  that  I  do 
in  my  Father’s  name,  these  bear  witness  of  me.  26  But  ye  believe  not,  because  ye  are  not  of

my  sheep.  27  My  sheep  hear  my  voice,  and  I  know  them,  and  they  follow  me :  28  and  I 
give  unto  them  eternal  life ;  and  they  shall  never  perish,  and  no  one  shall  snatch  them  out 
of  my  hand.  29  JMy  father,  which1  hath  given  them  unto  me,  is  greater  than  all;  and  no 
one  is  able  to  snatch  2 them  out  of  the  Father’s  hand.  30  I  and  the  Father  are  one.  31  The 
Jews  took  up  stones  again  to  stone  him.  32  Jesus  answered  them,  Many  good  works  have  I 
shewed  you  from  the  Father;  for  which  of  those  works  do  ye  stone  me?  33  The  Jews 
answered  him,  For  a  good  work  we  stone  thee  not,  but  for  blasphemy;  and  because  that 
thou,  being  a  man,  makest  thyself  God.  34  Jesus  answered  them,  Is  it  not  written  in  your 
law,  I  said,  Ye  are  gods?  35  If  he  called  them  gods,  unto  whom  the  word  of  God  came  (and 
the  scripture  cannot  be  broken),  36  say  ye  of  him,  whom  the  Father  3 sanctified  and  sent 
into  the  world,  Thou  blasphemest ;  because  I  said,  I  am  the  Son  of  God?  37  If  I  do  not  the 
works  of  my  Father,  believe  me  not.  38  But  if  I  do  them,  though  ye  believe  not  me,  believe 
the  works:  that  ye  may  know  and  understand  that  the  Father  is  in  me,  and  I  in  the  Father. 
39  They  sought  again  to  take  him  :  and  he  went  forth  out  of  their  hand. 

40  And  he  went  away  again  beyond  Jordan2  into  the  place  where  John  was  at  the  first 
baptizing;  and  there  he  abode.  41  And  many  came  unto  him;  and  they  said,  John  indeed 
did  no  sign ;  but  all  things  whatsoever  John  spake  of  this  man  were  true.  42  And  many 
believed  on  him  there. 

§  93.  DISCOURSE  ON  PRAYER. 

Luke  11:1-13. 

1  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  he  was  praying  in  a  certain  place,  that  when  he  ceased, 
one  of  his  disciples  said  unto  him,  Lord,  teach  us  to  pray,  even  as  John  also  taught  his 
disciples.  2  And  he  said  unto  them,  aWhen  ye  pray,  say,  4  Father,  Hallowed  be  thy 
name.  Thy  kingdom  5 come.  3  Give  us  day  by  day  6 our  daily  bread.  4  And  forgive  us 
our  sins ;  for  we  ourselves  also  forgive  every  one  that  is  indebted  to  us.  And  bring  us  not 
into  7  temptation. 

5  And  he  said  unto  them,  Which  of  you  shall  have  a  friend,  and  shall  go  unto  him  at 
midnight,  and  say  to  him,  Friend,  lend  me  three  loaves  ;  6  for  a  friend  of  mine  is  come  to 

me  from  a  journey,  and  I  have  nothing  to  set  before  him ;  7  and  he  from  within  shall 
answer  and  say,  Trouble  me  not :  the  door  is  now  shut  and  my  children  are  with  me  in  bed ; 
I  cannot  rise  and  give  thee?  8  I  say  unto  you,  Though  he  will  not  rise  and  give  him,  because 
he  is  his  friend,  yet  because  of  his  importunity  he  will  arise  and  give  him  8 as  many  as  he 
needeth.  9  And  I  say  unto  you,  b  Ask,  and  it  shall  be  given  you ;  seek,  and  ye  shall  find ;

§  94.  DISCOURSES  AGAINST  THE  PHARISEES. 


[Matt.  12  : 22-32.  Then  was 
brought  unto  him  2  one  pos¬ 
sessed  with  a  devil1,  blind  and 
dumb:  and  he  healed  him,  in¬ 
somuch  that  the  dumb  man 
spake  and  saw.  23  And  all  the 
multitudes  were  amazed,  and 
said,  Is  this2  the  son  of  David? 

24  But  when  the  Pharisees  heard 
it,  they  said,  This  man  doth  not 
cast  out  3 devils3,  but  4 by  Beelze¬ 
bub  the  prince  of  the  3 devils3. 

25  And  knowing  their  thoughts 
he  said  unto  them,  Every  king¬ 
dom  divided  against  itself  is 
brought  to  desolation ;  and  every 
city  or  house  divided  against 
itself  shall  not  stand :  26  and 
if  Satan  casteth  out  Satan, 
he  is  divided  against  himself; 
how  then  shall  his  kingdom 
stand?  27  And  if  I  4 by  Beelze¬ 
bub  cast  out  3 devils3,  4 by  whom 
do  your  sons  cast  them  out? 
therefore  shall  they  be  your 
judges.  28  But  if  I  4  by  the  Spirit 
of  God  cast  out 3 devils3,  then  is 
the  kingdom  of  God  come  upon 
you.  29  Or  how  can  one  enter 
into  the  house  of  the  strong  man, 
and  spoil  his  goods,  except  he 
first  bind  the  strong  man ?  and 
then  he  will  spoil  his  house.  30 
He  that  is  not  with  me  is  against 
me;  and  he  that  gathereth  not 
with  me  scattereth.  3L  There¬ 
fore  I  say  unto  you,  Every  sin 


[Mark  3:22-30.  And  the 
scribes  which4  came  down  from 
Jerusalem  said,  He  hath  Beelze¬ 
bub,  and,  5  By  the  prince  of 
the  3  devils 3  casteth  he  out  the 
3 devils3.  23  And  he  called  them 
unto  him,  and  said  unto  them 
in  parables,  How  can  Satan 
cast  out  Satan  ?  24  And  if 

a  kingdom  be  divided  against 
itself,  that  kingdom  cannot 
stand.  25  And  if  a  house  be  di¬ 
vided  against  itself,  that  house 
will  not  be  able  to  stand.  26 
And  if  Satan  hath  risen  up  against 
himself,  and  is  divided,  he  can¬ 
not  stand,  but  hath  an  end.  27 
But  no  one  can  enter  into  the 
house  of  the  strong  man,  and 
spoil  his  goods,  except  he  first 
bind  the  strong  man’,  and  then 
he  will  spoil  his  house.  28  Verily 
I  say  unto  you,  All  their  sins  shall 
be  forgiven  unto  the  sons  of  men, 
and  their  blasphemies  wherewith 
soever  they  shall  blaspheme :  29 
but  whosoever  shall  blaspheme 
against  the  Holy  Spirit  hath 
never  forgiveness,  but  is  guilty 
of  an  eternal  sin:  30  because 
they  said,  he  hath  an  unclean 
spirit.]  (§  55)

And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the 
6  devil1  was  gone  out,  the  dumb

tudes  marvelled.  15  Butsome 
of  them  said,  5  By  Beelzebub 
the  prince  of  the  3  devils 3  cast¬ 
eth  he  out  3 devils3.  16  And 
others,  tempting6  him,  sought 
of  him  a  sign  from  heaven. 
17  But  he,  knowing  their 
thoughts,  said  unto  them, 
Every  kingdom  divided 
against  itself  is  brought 
to  desolation;  7 and  a  house 
divided  against  a  house  fall- 
eth.  18  And  if  Satan  also 
is  divided  against  himself, 
how  shall  his  kingdom  stand? 
because  ye  say  that  I  cast 
out  3  devils  3  4  by  Beelzebub. 
19  And  if  I  4  by  Beelzebub 
cast  out  3 devils3,  by  whom 
do  your  sons  cast  them  out? 
therefore  shall  they  be  your 
judges.  20  But  if  I  by  the 
finger  of  God  cast  out 3  devils 3, 
then  is  the  kingdom  of  God 
come  upon  you.  21  When  the

eth  his  own  court,  his  goods 
are  in  peace :  but  when  a

Luke  11. 

37  Now  as  he  spake,  a  Pharisee  asketh  him  to  1  dine  with  him :  and  he  went  in,  and 
sat  down  to  meat.  38  And  when  the  Pharisee  saw  it,  he  marvelled  that  he  had  not  first 
washed1  before  dinner.  39  And  the  Lord  said  unto  him,  aNow  do  ye  Pharisees2  cleanse 
the  outside  of  the  cup  and  of  the  platter ;  but  your  inward  part  is  full  of  extortion 
and  wickedness.  40  Ye  foolish  ones,  did  not  he  that  made  the  outside  make  the  inside 
also?  41  Kowbeit3  give  for  alms  those  things  which  2 are  within;  and  behold,  all  things 
are  clean  unto  you. 

42  bBut  woe  unto  you  Pharisees !  for  ye  tithe  mint  and  rue  and  every  herb,  and  pass  over 
judgement4  and  the  love  of  God:  but  these  ought  ye  to  have  done,  and  not  to  leave  the 
other  undone.  43  c  Woe  unto  you  Pharisees  !  for  ye  love  the  chief  seats  in  the  synagogues, 
and  the  salutations  in  the  marketplaces.  44  d  Woe  unto  you  !  for  ye  are  as  the  tombs  which 
appear  not,  and  the  men  that  walk  over  them  know  it  not. 

45  And  one  of  the  lawyers  answering  saith  unto  him,  3 Master5,  in  saying  this  thou 
reproachest  us  also.  46  And  he  said,  Woe  unto  you  lawyers  also!  eforyelade6  men  with 
burdens  grievous  to  be  borne,  and  ye  yourselves  touch  not  the  burdens  with  one  of  your 
fingers.  47  f  Woe  unto  you  !  for  ye  build  the  tombs  of  the  prophets,  and  your  fathers  killed 
them.  48  So  ye  are  witnesses  and  consent  unto  the  works  of  your  fathers :  for  they  killed 
them,  and  ye  build  their  tombs.  49  s  Therefore  also  said  the  wisdom  of  God,  I  will  send  unto 
them  prophets  and  apostles  ;  and  some  of  them  they  shall  kill  and  persecute ;  50  that  the 
blood  of  all  the  prophets,  which  was  shed  from  the  foundation  of  the  world,  may  be  required 
of  this  generation ;  51  from  the  blood  of  Abel  unto  the  blood  of  Zachariah,  who  perished 
between  the  altar  and  the  4 sanctuary  :  yea,  I  say  unto  you,  it  shall  be  required  of  this  gen¬ 
eration.  52  h  Woe  unto  you  lawyers !  for  ye  took  away  the  key  of  knowledge  :  ye  entered  not 
in  yourselves,  and  them  that  were  entering  in  ye  hindered.

who  shall  speak  a  word  against  the  Son  of  man,  it  shall  be  forgiven  him :  but  unto  him  that

13  And  one  out  of  the  multitude  said  unto  him,  1  Master1,  bid  my  brother  divide  the 
inheritance  with  me.  14  But  he  said  unto  him,  Man,  who  made  me  a  judge  or  a  divider  over 
you  ?  15  And  he  said  unto  them,  Take  heed,  and  keep  yourselves  from  all  covetousness : 

2  for  a  man’s  life  consisteth  not  in  the  abundance  of  the  things  which  he  possesseth.  16  And 
he  spake  a  parable  unto  them,  saying,  The  ground  of  a  certain  rich  man  brought  forth  plenti¬ 
fully  :  17  and  he  reasoned  with  himself,  saying,  What  shall  I  do,  because  I  have  not  where 
to  bestow  my  fruits  ?  18  And  he  said,  This  will  I  do :  I  will  pull  down  my  barns,  and  build 

greater ;  and  there  will  I  bestow  all  my  corn2  and  my  goods.  19  And  I  will  say  to  my  3 soul, 
3 Soul,  thou  hast  much  goods  laid  up  for  many  years;  take  thine  ease,  eat,  drink,  be  merry. 
20  But  God  said  unto  him,  Thou  foolish  one,  this  night 4 is  thy  3soul  required  of  thee;  and 
the  things  which  thou  hast  prepared,  whose  shall  they  be  ?  21  So  is  he  that  layeth  up 
treasure  for  himself  and  is  not  rich  toward  God. 

22  bAnd  he  said  unto  his  disciples,  Therefore  I  say  unto  you,  Be  not  anxious  for  your 
6  life,  what  ye  shall  eat ;  nor  yet  for  your  body,  what  ye  shall  put  on.  23  For  the  5 life  is  more 
than  the  food,  and  the  body  than  the  raiment.  24  Consider  the  ravens,  that  they  sow  not, 
neither  reap  ;  which  have  no  store-chamber  nor  barn  ;  and  God  feedeth  them :  of  how  much 
more  value  are  ye  than  the  birds !  25  And  which  of  you  by  being  anxious  can  add  a  cubit

anxious  concerning  the  rest  ?  27  Consider  the  lilies,  how  they  grow  :  they  toil  not,  neither 
do  they  spin ;  yet  I  say  unto  you,  Even  Solomon  in  all  his  glory  was  not  arrayed  like  one  of 
these.  28  But  if  God  doth  so  clothe  the  grass  in  the  field,  which  to-day  is,  and  to-morrow  is

need  of  these  things.  31  Howbeit1  seek  ye  !his  kingdom,  and  these  things  shall  be  added

old,  a  treasure  in  the  heavens  that  faileth  not,  where  no  thief  draweth  near,  neither  moth 
destroyeth.  34  For  where  your  treasure  is,  there  will  your  heart  be  also. 

35  Let  your  loins  be  girded  about,  and  your  lamps  burning  ;  36  and  be  ye  yourselves  like 
unto  men  looking  for  their  lord,  when  he  shall  return  from  the  marriage  feast ;  that,  when 
he  cometh  and  knocketh,  they  may  straightway  open  unto  him.  37  Blessed  are  those 
2servants,  whom  the  lord  when  he  cometh  shall  find  watching:  verily  I  say  unto  you, 
that  he  shall  gird  himself,  and  make  them  sit  down  to  meat,  and  shall  come  and  serve 
them.  38  And  if  he  shall  come  in  the  second  watch,  and  if  in  the  third,  and  find  them 
so,  blessed  are  those  servants.  39  c3But  know  this,  that  if  the  master  of  the  house  had 
known  in  what  hour  the  thief  was  coming,  he  would  have  watched,  and  not  have  left 
his  house  to  be  4 broken  through.  40  Be  ye  also  ready:  for  in  an  hour  that  ye  think  not 
the  Son  of  man  cometh. 

41  And  Peter  said,  Lord,  speakest  thou  this  parable  unto  us,  or  even  unto  all  ?  42  And 
the  Lord  said,  d  Who  then  is  5  the  faithful  and  wise  steward,  whom  his  lord  shall  set  over  his 
household,  to  give  them  their  portion  of  food  in  due  season?  43  Blessed  is  that 6 servant, 
whom  his  lord  when  he  cometh  shall  find  so  doing.  44  Of  a  truth  I  say  unto  you,  that  he 
will  set  him  over  all  that  he  hath.  45  But  if  that 6  servant  shall  say  in  his  heart,  My  lord 
delayeth  his  coming ;  and  shall  begin  to  beat  the  menservants  and  the  maidservants,  and  to 
eat  and  drink,  and  to  be  drunken  ;  46  the  lord  of  that 6  servant  shall  come  in  a  day  when  he 
expecteth  not,  and  in  an  hour  when  he  knoweth  not,  and  shall  7  cut  him  asunder,  and 
appoint  his  portion  with  the  unfaithful.  47  And  that 6  servant,  which3  knew  his  lord’s  will, 
and  made  not  ready,  nor  did  according  to  his  will,  shall  be  beaten  with  many  stripes;  48

1  Now  there  were  some  present  at  that  very  season  which3  told  him  of  the  Galilaeans, 
whose  blood  Pilate  had  mingled  with  their  sacrifices.  2  And  he  answered  and  said  unto 
them,  Think  ye  that  these  Galilaeans  were  sinners  above  all  the  Galilaeans,  because  they  have 
suffered  these  things?  3  I  tell  you,  Nay  :  but,  except  ye  repent,  ye  shall  all  in  like  manner 
perish.  4  Or  those  eighteen,  upon  whom  the  tower  in  Siloam  fell,  and  killed  them,  think  ye 
that  they  were  Offenders  above  all  the  men  that  dwell  in  Jerusalem?  5  I  tell  you,  Nay  :  but, 
except  ye  repent,  ye  shall  all  likewise  perish. 

6  And  he  spake  this  parable ;  A  certain  man  had  a  fig  tree  planted  in  his  vineyard ;  and 
he  came  seeking  fruit  thereon,  and  found  none.  7  And  he  said  unto  the  vinedresser,  Behold, 
these  three  years  I  come  seeking  fruit  on  this  fig  tree,  and  find  none  :  cut  it  down  ;  why  doth 
it  also  cumber  the  ground?  8  And  he  answering  saith  unto  him,  Lord,  let  it  alone  this  year 
also,  till  I  shall  dig  about  it, and  dung  it:  9  andif  it  bear  fruit  thenceforth,  well;  butif  not,  thou

could  in  no  wise  lift  herself  up.  12  And  when  Jesus  saw  her,  he  called  her,  and  said  to  her, 
Woman,  thou  art  loosed  from  thine  infirmity.  13  And  he  laid  his  hands  upon  her:  and 
immediately  she  was  made  straight,  and  glorified  God.  14  And  the  ruler  of  the  synagogue, 
being  moved  with  indignation  because  Jesus  had  healed  on  the  sabbath,  answered  and  said 
to  the  multitude,  There  are  six  days  in  which  men  ought  to  work  :  in  them  therefore  come 
and  be  healed,  and  not  on  the  day  of  the  sabbath.  15  But  the  Lord  answered  him,  and  said, 
Ye  hypocrites,  doth  not  each  one  of  you  on  the  sabbath  loose  his  ox  or  his  ass  from  the 
1  stall,  and  lead  him  away  to  watering?  16  And  ought  not  this  woman,  being  a  daughter  of 
Abraham,  whom  Satan  had  bound,  lo,  these  eighteen  years,  to  have  been  loosed  from  this 
bond  on  the  day  of  the  sabbath?  17  And  as  he  said  these  things,  all  his  adversaries  were 
put  to  shame :  and  all  the  multitude  rejoiced  for  all  the  glorious  things  that  were  done 
by  him. 

18  aHe  said  therefore,  Unto  what  is  the  kingdom  of  God  like?  and  whereunto  shall  I 
liken  it?  19  It  is  like  unto  a  grain  of  mustard  seed,  which  a  man  took,  and  cast  into  his 
own  garden ;  and  it  grew,  and  became  a  tree ;  and  the  birds  of  the  heaven  lodged  in  the 
branches  thereof.  20  b  And  again  he  said,  Whereunto  shall  I  liken  the  kingdom  of  God?  21

on  a  sabbath  to  eat  bread,  that  they  were  watching  him.  2  And  behold,  there  was  before

peace.  And  he  took  him,  and  healed  him,  and  let  him  go.  5  And  he  said  unto  them,  d  Which 
of  you  shall  have  3 an  ass  or  an  ox  fallen  into  a  well,  and  will  not  straightway  draw  him  up 
on  a  sabbath  day  ?  6  And  they  could  not  answer  again  unto  these  things.

bidden  of  him,  9  and  he  that  bade  thee  and  him  shall  come  and  say  to  thee,  Give  this  man 
place ;  and  then  thou  shalt  begin  with  shame  to  take  the  lowest  place.  10  But  when  thou 
art  bidden,  go  and  sit  down  in  the  lowest  place ;  that  when  he  that  hath  bidden  thee  cometh, 
he  may  say  to  thee,  Friend,  go  up  higher :  then  shalt  thou  have  glory  in  the  presence  of  all 
that  sit  at  meat  with  thee.  11  aFor  every  one  that  exalteth  himself  shall  be  humbled  ;  and 
he  that  humbleth  himself  shall  be  exalted. 

12  And  he  said  to  him  also  that  had  bidden  him,  When  thou  makest  a  dinner  or  a  supper, 
call  not  thy  friends,  nor  thy  brethren,  nor  thy  kinsmen,  nor  rich  neighbours ;  lest  haply  they 
also  bid  thee  again,  and  a  recompense  be  made  thee.  13  But  when  thou  makest  a  feast,  bid 
the  poor,  the  maimed,  the  lame,  the  blind  :  14  and  thou  shalt  be  blessed  ;  because  they  have 
not  wherewith  to  recompense  thee :  for  thou  shalt  be  recompensed  in  the  resurrection  of  the  j ust. 

15  bAnd  when  one  of  them  that  sat  at  meat  with  him  heard  these  things,  he  said  unto 
him,  Blessed  is  he  that  shall  eat  bread  in  the  kingdom  of  God.  16  But  he  said  unto  him,  A 
certain  man  made  a  great  supper ;  and  he  bade  many :  17  and  he  sent  forth  his  2  servant  at 

supper  time  to  say  to  them  that  were  bidden,  Come  ;  for  all  things  are  now  ready.  18  And 
they  all  with  one  consent  began  to  make  excuse.  The  first  said  unto  him,  I  have  bought  a 
field,  and  I  must  needs  go  out  and  see  it :  I  pray  thee  have  me  excused.  19  And  another 
said,  I  have  bought  five  yoke  of  oxen,  and  I  go  to  prove  them :  I  pray  thee  have  me  excused. 
20  And  another  said,  I  have  married  a  wife,  and  therefore  I  cannot  come.  21  And  the  2  serv¬ 
ant  came,  and  told  his  lord  these  things.  Then  the  master  of  the  house  being  angry  said  to 
his  2 servant,  Go  out  quickly  into  the  streets  and  lanes  of  the  city,  and  bring  in  hither  the 
poor  and  maimed  and  blind  and  lame.  22  And  the  2  servant  said,  Lord,  what  thou  didst  com¬ 
mand  is  done,  and  yet  there  is  room.  23  And  the  lord  said  unto  the  2 servant,  Go  out  into

to  call  them  that  were  bidden  to  the  marriage  feast :  and  they  would  not  come.  4  Again  he  sent  forth  other 
servants,  saying,  Tell  them  that  are  bidden,  Behold,  I  have  made  ready  my  dinner:  my  oxen  and  my  fatlings 
are  killed,  and  all  things  are  ready:  come  to  the  marriage  feast.  5  But  they  made  light  of  it,  and  went  their 
ways,  one  to  his  own  farm,  another  to  his  merchandise :  6  and  the  rest  laid  hold  on  his  servants,  and  entreated 
them  shamefully,  and  killed  them.  7  But  the  king  was  wroth ;  and  he  sent  his  armies,  and  destroyed  those 
murderers,  and  burned  their  city.  8  Then  saith  he  to  his  servants,  The  wedding  is  ready,  but  they  that  were 
bidden  were  not  worthy.  9  Go  ye  therefore  unto  the  partings  of  the  highways,  and  as  many  as  ye  shall  find, 
bid  to  the  marriage  feast.  10  And  those  servants  went  out  into  the  highways,  and  gathered  together  all  as

a  Whosoever  doth  not  bear  his  own  cross,  and  come  after  me,  cannot  be  my  disciple.  28  For 
which  of  you,  desiring  to  build  a  tower,  doth  not  first  sit  down  and  count  the  cost,  whether 
he  have  wherewith  to  complete  it  ?  29  Lest  haply,  when  he  hath  laid  a  foundation,  and  is 
not  able  to  finish,  all  that  behold  begin  to  mock  him,  30  saying,  This  man  began  to  build, 
and  was  not  able  to  finish.  31  Or,  what  king,  as  he  goeth  to  encounter  another  king  in  war, 
will  not  sit  down  first  and  take  counsel  whether  he  is  able  with  ten  thousand  to  meet  him  that 
cometh  against  him  with  twenty  thousand  ?  32  Or  else,  while  the  other  is  yet  a  great  way

both  the  Pharisees  and  the  scribes  murmured,  saying,  This  man  receiveth  sinners,  and  eateth 
with  them. 

3  And  he  spake  unto  them  this  parable,  saying,  4  d  What  man  of  you,  having  a  hundred 
sheep,  and  having  lost  one  of  them,  doth  not  leave  the  ninety  and  nine  in  the  wilderness,  and 
go  after  that  which  is  lost,  until  he  find  it  ?  5  And  when  he  hath  found  it,  he  layeth  it  on 
his  shoulders,  rejoicing.  6  And  when  he  cometh  home,  he  calleth  together  his  friends  and 
his  neighbours,  saying  unto  them,  Rejoice  with  me,  for  I  have  found  my  sheep  which  was 
lost.  7  I  say  unto  you,  that  even  so  there  shall  be  joy  in  heaven  over  one  sinner  that  repent-

TWO  PARABLES  OF  WARNING

Luke  15. 

she  calleth  together  her  friends  and  neighbours,  saying,  Rejoice  with  me,  for  I  have  found 
the  piece  which  I  had  lost.  10  Even  so,  I  say  unto  you,  there  is  joy  in  the  presence  of  the 
angels  of  God  over  one  sinner  that  repenteth. 

11  And  he  said,  A  certain  man  had  two  sons  :  12  and  the  younger  of  them  said  to  his  father, 
Father,  give  me  the  portion  of  1  thy  substance  that  falleth  to  me.  And  he  divided  unto  them 
his  living.  13  And  not  many  days  after  the  younger  son  gathered  all  together,  and  took  his 
journey  into  a  far  country ;  and  there  he  wasted  his  substance  with  riotous  living.  14  And 
when  he  had  spent  all,  there  arose  a  mighty  famine  in  that  country  ;  and  he  began  to  be  in 
want.  15  And  he  went  and  joined  himself  to  one  of  the  citizens  of  that  country;  and  he 
sent  him  into  his  fields  to  feed  swine.  16  And  he  would  fain  have  been  filled1  with  2  the 
husks  that  the  swine  did  eat :  and  no  man  gave  unto  him.  17  But  when  he  came  to  himself 
he  said,  How  many  hired  servants  of  my  father’s  have  bread  enough  and  to  spare,  and  I 
perish  here  with  hunger !  18  I  will  arise  and  go  to  my  father,  and  will  say  unto  him,  Father, 

I  have  sinned  against  heaven,  and  in  thy  sight :  19  I  am  no  more  worthy  to  be  called  thy 
son  .’  make  me  as  one  of  thy  hired  servants.  20  And  he  arose,  and  came  to  his  father.  But 
while  he  was  yet  afar  off,  his  father  saw  him,  and  was  moved  with  compassion,  and  ran,  and 
fell  on  his  neck,  and  3 kissed  him.  21  And  the  son  said  unto  him,  Father,  I  have  sinned 
against  heaven,  and  in  thy  sight :  I  am  no  more  worthy  to  be  called  thy  4 son.  22  But  the 
father  said  to  his  5 servants,  Bring  forth  quickly  the  best  robe,  and  put  it  on  him;  and 
put  a  ring  on  his  hand,  and  shoes  on  his  feet :  23  and  bring  the  fatted  calf,  and  kill  it,  and 

let  us  eat,  and  make  merry:  24  for  this  my  son  was  dead,  and  is  alive  again  ;  he  was  lost, 
and  is  found.  And  they  began  to  be  merry.  25  Now  his  elder  son  was  in  the  field  :  and  as 
he  came  and  drew  nigh  to  the  house,  he  heard  music  and  dancing.  26  And  he  called  to 
him  one  of  the  5servants,  and  inquired  what  these  things  might  be.  27  And  he  said  unto 
him,  Thy  brother  is  come ;  and  thy  father  hath  killed  the  fatted  calf,  because  he  hath 
received  him  safe  and  sound.  28  But  he  was  angry,  and  would  not  go  in :  and  his  father 
came  out  and  intreated  him.  29  But  he  answered  and  said  to  his  father,  Lo,  these  many 
years  do  I  serve  thee,  and  I  never  transgressed  a  commandment  of  thine  :  and  yet  thou 
never  gavest  me  a  kid,  that  I  might  make  merry  with  my  friends :  30  but  when  this  thy 
son  came,  which2  hath  devoured  thy  living  with  harlots,  thou  killedst  for  him  the  fatted 
calf.  31  And  he  said  unto  him, 6  Son,  thou  art  ever  with  me,  and  all  that  is  mine  is  thine. 
32  But  it  was  meet  to  make  merry  and  be  glad  :  for  this  thy  brother  was  dead,  and  is  alive 
again ;  and  was  lost,  and  is  found.

1  And  he  said  also  unto  his  disciples,  There  was  a  certain  rich  man,  which2  had  a  steward  ; 
and  the  same  was  accused  unto  him  that  he  was  wasting  his  goods.  2  And  he  called  him, 
and  said  unto  him,  What  is  this  that  I  hear  of  thee  ?  render  the  account  of  thy  stewardship  ; 
for  thou  canst  be  no  longer  steward.  3  And  the  steward  said  within  himself,  What  shall  I 
do,  seeing  that  my  lord  taketh  away  the  stewardship  from  me  ?  I  have  not  strength  to  dig ; 
to  beg  I  am  ashamed.  4  I  am  resolved  what  to  do,  that,  when  I  am  put  out  of  the  steward¬ 
ship,  they  may  receive  me  into  their  houses.  5  And  calling  to  him  each  one  of  his  lord’s  debtors,

Then  said  he  to  another,  And  how  much  owest  thou  ?  And  he  said,  A  hundred  2 measures  of 
wheat.  He  saith  unto  him,  Take  thy  ^ond,  and  write  fourscore.  8  And  his  lord  commended 
3the  unrighteous  steward  because  he  had  done  wisely:  for  the  sons  of  this  4 world  are  for 
their  own  generation  wiser  than  the  sons  of  the  light.  9  And  I  say  unto  you,  Make  to  your¬ 
selves  friends  5 by  means  of  the  mammon  of  unrighteousness;  that,  when  it  shall  fail,  they 
may  receive  you  into  the  eternal  tabernacles.  10  He  that  is  faithful  in  a  very  little  is  faithful 
also  in  much :  and  he  that  is  unrighteous  in  a  very  little  is  unrighteous  also  in  much.  11  If 
therefore  ye  have  not  been  faithful  in  the  unrighteous  mammon,  who  will  commit  to  your 
trust  the  true  riches  ?  12  And  if  ye  have  not  been  faithful  in  that  which  is  another’s,  who 
will  give  you  that  which  is  6 your  own  ?  13  aNo  7 servant  can  serve  two  masters  :  for  either 
he  will  hate  the  one,  and  love  the  other ;  or  else  he  will  hold  to  one,  and  despise  the  other. 
Ye  cannot  serve  God  and  mammon. 

14  And  the  Pharisees,  who  were  lovers  of  money,  heard  all  these  things ;  and  they  scoffed 
at  him.  15  And  he  said  unto  them,  Ye  are  they  that  justify  yourselves  in  the  sight  of  men ; 
but  God  knoweth  your  hearts:  for  that  which  is  exalted  among  men  is  an  abomination  in 
the  sight  of  God.  16  bThe  law  and  the  prophets  were  until  John  :  from  that  time  the  gospel 
of  the  kingdom  of  God  is  preached,  and  every  man  entereth  violently  into  it.  17  cBut  it  is 
easier  for  heaven  and  earth  to  pass  away,  than  for  one  tittle  of  the  law  to  fall.  18  d  Every 
one  that  putteth  away  his  wife,  and  marrieth  another,  committeth  adultery:  and  he  that 
marrieth  one  that  is  put  away  from  a  husband  committeth  adultery. 

19  Now  there  was  a  certain  rich  man,  and  he  was  clothed  in  purple  and  fine  linen, 
8  faring  sumptuously  every  day :  20  and  a  certain  beggar  named  Lazarus  was  laid  at  his 
gate,  full  of  sores,  21  and  desiring  to  be  fed  with  the  crumbs  that  fell  from  the  rich  man’s 
table  ;  yea,  even  the  dogs  came  and  licked  his  sores.  22  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  the 
beggar  died,  and  that  he  was  carried  away  by  the  angels  into  Abraham’s  bosom :  and  the 
rich  man  also  died,  and  was  buried.  23  And  in  Hades  he  lifted  up  his  eyes,  being  in 
torments,  and  seeth  Abraham  afar  off,  and  Lazarus  in  his  bosom.  24  And  he  cried  and  said, 
Father  Abraham,  have  mercy  on  me,  and  send  Lazarus,  that  he  may  dip  the  tip  of  his  finger 
in  water,  and  cool  my  tongue ;  for  I  am  in  anguish  in  this  flame.  25  But  Abraham  said, 
9 Son,  remember  that  thou  in  thy  lifetime  receivedst  thy  good  things,  and  Lazarus  in  like 
manner  evil  things :  but  now  here  he  is  comforted,  and  thou  art  in  anguish.  26  And

should  come :  but  woe  unto  him,  through  whom  they  come !  2  b  It  were  well  for  him  if 
a  millstone  were  hanged  about  his  neck,  and  he  were  thrown  into  the  sea,  rather  than 
that  he  should  cause  one  of  these  little  ones  to  stumble.  3  c Take  heed  to  yourselves: 
if  thy  brother  sin,  rebuke  him;  and  if  he  repent,  forgive  him.  4  dAnd  if  he  sin  against 
thee  seven  times  in  the  day,  and  seven  times  turn  again  to  thee,  saying,  I  repent ;  thou 
shalt  forgive  him. 

5  And  the  apostles  said  unto  the  Lord,  Increase  our  faith.  6eAnd  the  Lord  said,  If  ye

and  drunken;  and  afterward  thou  shalt  eat  and  drink?  9  Doth  he  thank  the  Servant

§  105.  THE  RAISING  OF  LAZARUS. 

John  11 : 1-46. 

1  Now  a  certain  man  was  sick,  Lazarus  of  Bethany,  of  the  village  of  Mary  and  her  sister 
Martha.  2  And  it  was  that  Mary  which 1  anointed  the  Lord  with  ointment,  and  wiped  his 
feet  with  her  hair,  whose  brother  Lazarus  was  sick.  3  The  sisters  therefore  sent  unto  him, 
saying,  Lord,  behold,  he  whom  thou  lovest  is  sick.  4  But  when  Jesus  heard  it,  he  said,  This 
sickness  is  not  unto  death,  but  for  the  glory  of  God,  that  the  Son  of  God  may  be  glorified 
thereby.  5  Now  Jesus  loved  Martha,  and  her  sister,  and  Lazarus.  6  When  therefore  he 
heard  that  he  was  sick,  he  abode  at  that  time  two  days  in  the  place  where  he  was.  7  Then 
after  this  he  saith  to  the  disciples,  Let  us  go  into  Judaea  again.  8  The  disciples  say  unto 
him,  Rabbi,  the  Jews  were  but  now  seeking  to  stone  thee;  and  goest  thou  thither  again? 
9  Jesus  answered,  Are  there  not  twelve  hours  in  the  day?  If  a  man  walk  in  the  day,  he 
stumbleth  not,  because  he  seeth  the  light  of  this  world.  10  But  if  a  man  walk  in  the  night, 
he  stumbleth,  because  the  light  is  not  in  him.  11  These  things  spake  he  :  and  after  this  he 
saith  unto  them,  Our  friend  Lazarus  is  fallen  asleep ;  but  I  go,  that  I  may  awake  him  out  of 
sleep.  12  The  disciples  therefore  said  unto  him,  Lord,  if  he  is  fallen  asleep,  he  will 1  recover. 
13  Now  Jesus  had  spoken  of  his  death :  but  they  thought  that  he  spake  of  taking  rest  in 
sleep.  14  Then  Jesus  therefore  said  unto  them  plainly,  Lazarus  is  dead.  15  And  I  am  glad 
for  your  sakes  that  I  was  not  there,  to  the  intent  ye  may  believe  ;  nevertheless  let  us  go  unto 
him.  16  Thomas  therefore,  who  is  called  2Didymus,  said  unto  his  fellow-disciples,  Let  us 
also  go,  that  we  may  die  with  him. 

17  So  when  Jesus  came,  he  found  that  he  had  been  in  the  tomb  four  days  already. 
18  Now  Bethany  was  nigh  unto  Jerusalem,  about  fifteen  furlongs  off;  19  and  many  of  the 
Jews  had  come  to  Martha  and  Mary,  to  console  them  concerning  their  brother.  20  Martha 
therefore,  when  she  heard  that  Jesus  was  coming,  went  and  met  him:  but  Mary  still  sat 
in  the  house.  21  Martha  therefore  said  unto  Jesus,  Lord,  if  thou  hadst  been  here,  my 
brother  had  not  died.  22  And  even  now  I  know  that,  whatsoever  thou  shalt  ask  of  God,  God 
will  give  thee.  23  Jesus  saith  unto  her,  Thy  brother  shall  rise  again.  24  Martha  saith  unto 
him,  I  know  that  he  shall  rise  again  in  the  resurrection  at  the  last  day.  25  Jesus  said  unto 
her,  I  am  the  resurrection,  and  the  life  :  he  that  believeth  on  me,  though  he  die,  yet  shall  he 
live :  26  and  whosoever  liveth  and  believeth  on  me  shall  never  die.  Believest  thou  this? 
27  She  saith  unto  him,  Yea,  Lord  :  I  have  believed  that  thou  art  the  Christ,  the  Son  of  God, 
even  he  that  cometh  into  the  world.  28  And  when  she  had  said  this,  she  went  away,  and 
called  Mary  3  her  sister  secretly,  saying,  The  4  Master 2  is  here,  and  calleth  thee.  29  And 
she,  when  she  heard  it,  arose  quickly,  and  went  unto  him.  30  (Now  Jesus  was  not  yet  come 
into  the  village,  but  was  still  in  the  place  where  Martha  met  him.)  31  The  Jews  then  which1 
were  with  her  in  the  house,  and  were  comforting3  her,  when  they  saw  Mary,  that  she  rose 
up  quickly  and  went  out,  followed  her,  supposing  that  she  was  going  unto  the  tomb  to  5  weep 
there.  32  Mary  therefore,  when  she  came  where  Jesus  was,  and  saw  him,  fell  down  at  his 
feet,  saying  unto  him,  Lord,  if  thou  hadst  been  here,  my  brother  had  not  died.  33  When 
Jesus  therefore  saw  her  6  weeping,  and  the  Jews  also  6  weeping  which1  came  with  her,  he 
7  groaned  in  the  spirit,  and  8  was  troubled,  34  and  said,  Where  have  ye  laid  him?  They  say 
unto  him,  Lord,  come  and  see.  35  Jesus  wept.  36  The  Jews  therefore  said,  Behold  how  he 
loved  him  !  37  But  some  of  them  said,  Could  not  this  man,  which1  opened  the  eyes  of  him

that  was  blind,  have  caused  that  this  man  also  should  not  die?  38  Jesus  therefore  again 
1  groaning  in  himself  cometh  to  the  tomb.  Now  it  was  a  cave,  and  a  stone  lay  2  against  it. 
39  Jesus  saith,  Take  ye  away  the  stone.  Martha,  the  sister  of  him  that  was  dead,  saith  unto 
him,  Lord,  by  this  time  he  stinketh 1 :  for  he  hath  been  dead  four  days.  40  Jesus  saith  unto 
her,  Said  I  not  unto  thee,  that,  if  thou  believedst,  thou  shouldest  see  the  glory  of  God? 
41  So  they  took  away  the  stone.  And  Jesus  lifted  up  his*eyes,  and  said,  Father,  I  thank 
thee  that  thou  heardest  me.  42  And  I  knew  that  thou  hearest  me  always :  but  because  of 
the  multitude  which2  standeth  around  I  said  it,  that  they  may  believe  that  thou  didst  send 
me.  43  And  when  he  had  thus  spoken,  he  cried  with  a  loud  voice,  Lazarus,  come  forth. 
44  He  that  was  dead  came  forth,  bound  hand  and  foot  with  3  grave-clothes ;  and  his  face 
was  bound  about  with  a  napkin.  Jesus  saith  unto  them,  Loose  him,  and  let  him  go. 

45  Many  therefore  of  the  Jews,  which3  came  to  Mary  and  beheld  4 that  which  he  did, 
believed  on  him.  46  But  some  of  them  went  away  to  the  Pharisees,  and  told  them  the  things 
which  Jesus  had  done. 


§  106.  THE  WITHDRAWAL  TO  EPHRAIM 
John  11:47-54. 

The  chief  priests  therefore  and  the  Pharisees  gathered  a  council,  and  said,  What  do  we? 
for  this  man  doeth  many  signs.  48  If  we  let  him  thus  alone,  all  men  will  believe  on  him : 
and  the  Romans  will  come  and  take  away  both  our  place  and  our  nation.  49  But  a  certain 
one  of  them,  Caiaphas,  being  high  priest  that  year,  said  unto  them,  Ye  know  nothing  at  all, 
50  nor  do  ye  take  account  that  it  is  expedient  for  you  that  one  man  should  die  for  the  people, 
and  that  the  whole  nation  perish  not.  51  Now  this  he  said  not  of  himself :  but  being  high 
priest  that  year,  he  prophesied  that  Jesus  should  die  for  the  nation;  52  and  not  for  the 
nation  only,  but  that  he  might  also  gather  together  into  one  the  children  of  God  that 
are  scattered  abroad.  53  So  from  that  day  forth  they  took  counsel  that  they  might  put  him 
to  death. 

54  Jesus  therefore  walked  no  more  openly  among  the  Jews,  but  departed  thence  into  the 
country  near  to  the  wilderness,  into  a  city  called  Ephraim ;  and  there  he  tarried  with  the 
disciples. 

§  107.  THE  TEN  LEPERS. 

Luke  17 : 11-19. 

11  And  it  came  to  pass, 5  as  they  were  on  their  way  to  Jerusalem,  that  he  was  passing 
^through  the  midst4  of  Samaria  and  Galilee.  12  And  as  he  entered  into  a  certain  village, 
there  met  him  ten  men  that  were  lepers,  which3  stood  afar  off :  13  and  they  lifted  up  their 
voices,  saying,  Jesus,  Master,  have  mercy  on  us.  14  And  when  he  saw  them,  he  said  unto 
them,  Go  and  shew  yourselves  unto  the  priests.  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  they  went,  they  were 
cleansed.  15  And  one  of  them,  when  he  saw  that  he  was  healed,  turned  back,  with  a  loud 
voice  glorifying  God ;  16  and  he  fell  upon  his  face  at  his  feet,  giving  him  thanks :  and  he 
was  a  Samaritan.  17  And  Jesus  answering  said,  Were  not  the  ten  cleansed  ?  but  where  are 
the  nine  ?  18  7  Were  there  none  found  that  returned  to  give  glory  to  God,  save  this  8stranger  ? 
19  And  he  said  unto  him,  Arise,  and  go  thy  way:  thy  faith  hath  9 made  thee  whole.

§108.  THE  COMING  OF  THE  KINGDOM, 

Luke  17 :  20 — 18  :  8. 

20  And  being  asked  by  the  Pharisees,  when  the  kingdom  of  God  cometh,  he  answered 
them  and  said,  The  kingdom  of  God  cometh  not  with  observation:  21  neither  shall  they 
say,  Lo,  here !  or,  There !  for  lo,  the  kingdom  of  God  is  1  within  you. 

22  And  he  said  unto  the  disciples,  The  days  will  come,  when  ye  shall  desire  to  see  one  of 
the  days  of  the  Son  of  man,  and  ye  shall  not  see  it.  23  aAnd  they  shall  say  to  you,  Lo, 
there !  Lo,  here !  go  not  away,  nor  follow  after  them :  24  for  as  the  lightning,  when  it  light- 
eneth  out  of  the  one  part  under  the  heaven,  shineth  unto  the  other  part  under  heaven;  so 
shall  the  Son  of  man  be  2  in  his  day.  25  bBut  first  must  he  suffer  many  things  and  be  rejected 
of ‘this  generation.  26  cAnd  as  it  came  to  pass  in  the  days  of  Noah,  even  so  shall  it  be  also 
in  the  days  of  the  Son  of  man.  27  They  ate,  they  drank,  they  married,  they  were  given  in 
marriage,  until  the  day  that  Noah  entered  into  the  ark,  and  the  flood  came,  and  destroyed 
them  all.  28  Likewise  even  as  it  came  to  pass  in  the  days  of  Lot;  they  ate,  they  drank,  they 
bought,  they  sold,  they  planted,  they  builded;  29  but  in  the  day  that  Lot  went  out  from 
Sodom  it  rained  fire  and  brimstone  from  heaven,  and  destroyed  them  all :  30  after  the  same 
manner  shall  it  be  in  the  day  that  the  Son  of  man  is  revealed.  31  In  that  day,  he  which1 
shall  be  on  the  housetop,  and  his  goods  in  the  house,  let  him  not  go  down  to  take  them  away : 
and  let  him  that  is  in  the  field  likewise  not  return  back.  32  Remember  Lot’s  wife.  33  d  Who¬

Where,  Lord  ?  And  he  said  unto  them,  “Where  the  body  is ,  thither  will  the  1  eagles  also  be 
gathered  together. 

18:1  And  he  spake  a  parable  unto  them  to  the  end  that  they  ought  always  to  pray,  and 
not  to  faint;  2  saying,  There  was  in  a  city  a  judge,  which1  feared  not  God,  and  regarded  not 
man  :  3  and  there  was  a  widow  in  that  city  ;  and  she  came  oft  unto  him,  saying, 2  Avenge  me 
of  mine  adversary.  4  And  he  would  not  for  a  while  :  but  afterward  he  said  within  himself, 
Though  I  fear  not  God,  nor  regard  man  ;  5  yet  because  this  widow  troubleth  me,  I  will  avenge 
her,  lest  she  3  wear  me  out  by  her  continual  coming.  6  And  the  Lord  said,  Hear  what  4  the

were  righteous,  and  set 6  all  others  at  nought :  10  Two  men  went  up  into  the  temple  to  pray  ;  S 
the  one  a  Pharisee,  and  the  other  a  publican.  11  The  Pharisee  stood  and  prayed  thus  with 
himself,  God,  I  thank  thee,  that  I  am  not  as  the  rest  of  men,  extortioners,  unjust,  adulterers, 
or  even  as  this  publican.  12  I  fast  twice  in  the  week  ;  I  give  tithes  of  all  that  I  get.  13  But 
the  publican,  standing  afar  off,  would  not  lift  up  so  much  as  his  eyes  unto  heaven,  but  smote 
his  breast,  saying,  God,  7  be 5  merciful  to  me  8  a  sinner.  14  I  say  unto  you,  This  man  went 
down  to  his  house  justified  rather  than  the  other  :  b  for  every  one  that  exalte th  himself  shall

they  are  no  more  twain1,  but

God  hath  joined  together,  let

say  unto  him,  Why  then  did 
Moses  command  to  give  a  bill 
of  divorcement,  and  to  put  her

Moses  for  your  hardness  of 
heart  suffered  you  to  put  away 
your  wives:  but  from  the  be¬ 
ginning  it  hath  not  been  so. 
9  aAnd  I  say  unto  you,  Who¬

say  unto  him,  If  the  case  of 
the  man  is  so  with  his  wife,  it 
is  not  expedient  to  marry.  11 
But  he  said  unto  them,  All 
men  cannot2  receive  this  say¬

given.  12  For  there  are  eu¬

were  made  eunuchs  by  men  : 
and  there  are  eunuchs,  which3

he  should  lay  his  hands  on 
them,  and  pray :  and  the  dis¬

Jesus  said,  Suffer  the  little

15  And  he  laid  his  hands  on

13  And  they  brought2  unto

But  when  Jesus  saw  it,  he 
was  moved  with  indignation, 
and  said  unto  them,  Suffer 
the  little  children  to  come

hands  upon  them.

man  saith  unto  him,  All  these 
things  have  I  observed :  what 
lack  I  yet?  21  Jesus  said 
unto  him,  If  thou  wouldest 
be  perfect,  go,  sell  that1  thou 
hast,  and  give  to  the  poor, 
and  thou  shalt  have  treasure 
in  heaven :  and  come,  follow 
me.  22  But  when  the  young 
man  heard  the  saying,  he 
went  away  sorrowful :  for  he 
was  one  that  had  great  pos¬ 
sessions. 

23  And  Jesus  said  unto  his 
disciples,  Verily  I  say  unto 
you,  It  is  hard  for  a  rich  man 
to  enter  into  the  kingdom  of 
heaven.  24  And  again  I  say 
unto  you,  It  is  easier  for  a 
camel  to  go  through  a  needle’s 
eye,  than  for  a  rich  man  to 
enter  into  the  kingdom  of 
God.  25  And  when  the  dis¬ 
ciples  heard  it,  they  were 
astonished  exceedingly,  say¬ 
ing,  Who  then  can  be  saved  ? 

26  And  Jesus  looking  upon 
them  said  to  them,  With  men 
this  is  impossible  ;  but  with 
God  all  things  are  possible. 

27  Then  answered  Peter  and 
said  unto  him,  Lo,  we  have 
left  all,  and  followed  thee ; 
what  then  shall  we  have  ? 

28  And  Jesus  said  unto  them, 
Verily  I  say  unto  you,  that  ye 
which2  have  followed  me,  in 
the  regeneration  when  the 
Son  of  man  shall  sit  on  the 
throne  of  his  glory,  aye  also 
shall  sit  upon  twelve  thrones,

21  And  Jesus  looking  upon 
him  loved  him,  and  said  unto 
him,  One  thing  thou  lackest : 
go,  sell  whatsoever  thou  hast, 
and  give  to  the  poor,  and  thou 
shalt  have  treasure  in  heaven: 
and  come,  follow  me.  22  But 
his  countenance  fell  at  the 
saying,  and  he  went  away 
sorrowful :  for  he  was  one 
that  had  great  possessions. 


23  And  Jesus  looked  round 
about,  and  saith  unto  his  dis¬ 
ciples,  How  hardly  shall  they 
that  have  riches  enter  into 
the  kingdom  of  God  !  24  And 
the  disciples  were  amazed  at 
his  words.  But  Jesus  an- 
swereth  again,  and  saith  unto 
them,  Children,  how  hard  is 
it  1  for  them  that  trust  in 
riches  to  enter  into  the  king¬ 
dom  of  God  !  25  It  is  easier 
for  a  camel  to  go  through  a 
needle’s  eye,  than  for  a  rich 
man  to  enter  into  the  king¬ 
dom  of  God.  26  And  they 
were  astonished  exceedingly, 
saying  2unto  him,  Then  who 
can  be  saved  ?  27  Jesus  look¬ 
ing  upon  them  saith,  With 
men  it  is  impossible,  but  not 
with  God  :  for  all  things  are 
possible  with  God.  28  Peter 
began  to  say  unto  him,  Lo,  we 
have  left  all,  and  have  followed 
thee.  29  Jesus  said,  Verily  I 
say  unto  you,  There  is  no  man 
that  hath  left  house,  or  breth¬ 
ren,  or  sisters,  or  mother,  or 


Luke  18. 

the  poor,  and  thou  shalt  have 
treasure  in  heaven :  and  come, 
follow  me.  23  But  when  he 
heard  these  things,  he  became 
exceeding  sorrowful ;  for  he 
was  very  rich. 


24  And  Jesus 
seeing  him  said,  How  hardly 
shall  they  that  have  riches 
enter  into  the  kingdom  of 
God !  25  For  it  is  easier  for 
a  camel  to  enter  in  through  a

man  to  enter  into  the  king¬ 
dom  of  God.  26  And  they 
that  heard  it  said.  Then  who 
can  be  saved?  27  But  he 
said,  The  things  which  are 
impossible  with  men  are  pos¬ 
sible  with  God.  28  And  Peter 
said,  Lo,  we  have  left  3  our 
own,  and  followed  thee.  29 
And  he  said  unto  them,  Verily 
I  say  unto  you,  There  is  no

AMBITION  OF  JAMES  AND  JOHN. 

Mark  10:35-45. 

35  And  there  come  near 
unto  him  James  and  John, 
the  sons  of  Zebedee,  saying 
unto  him, 1  Master2,  we  would 
that  thou  shouldest  do  for  us 
whatsoever  we  shall  ask  of 
thee.  36  And  he  said  unto 
them,  What  would  ye  that  I 
should  do  for  you?  37  And 
they  said  unto  him,  Grant 
unto  us  that  we  may  sit,  one 
on  thy  right  hand,  and  one  on 
thy  left  hand,  in  thy  glory. 

38  But  Jesus  said  unto  them, 

Ye  know  not  what  ye  ask. 

Are  ye  able  to  drink  the  cup 
that  I  drink  ?  or  to  be  baptized 
with  the  baptism  that  I  am

said  unto  him,  We  are  able.

by  the  way  side,  when  they

Jericho,  with  his  disciples 
and  a  great  multitude,  the 
son  of  Timaeus,  Bartimasus,  a 
blind  beggar,  was  sitting  by

1  And  he  entered  and  was  passing  through  Jericho.  2  And  behold,  a  man  called  by 
name  Zacchaeus ;  and  he  was  a  chief  publican,  and  he  was  rich.  3  And  he  sought  to  see 
Jesus  who  he  was ;  and  could  not  for  the  crowd,  because  he  was  little  of  stature.  4  And  he 
ran  on  before,  and  climbed  up  into  a  sycomore  tree  to  see  him :  for  he  was  to  pass  that  way. 
5  And  when  Jesus  came  to  the  place,  he  looked  up,  and  said  unto  him,  Zacchaeus,  make  haste, 
and  come  down ;  for  to-day  I  must  abide  at  thy  house.  6  And  he  made  haste,  and  came 
down,  and  received  him  joyfully.  7  And  when  they  saw  it,  they  all  murmured,  saying,  He  is 
gone  in  to  lodge  with  a  man  that  is  a  sinner.  8  And  Zacchaeus  stood,  and  said  unto  the 
Lord,  Behold,  Lord,  the  half  of  my  goods  I  give  to  the  poor ;  and  if  I  have  wrongfully  exacted 
aught  of  any  man,  I  restore  fourfold.  9  And  Jesus  said  unto  him,  To-day  is  salvation  come 
to  this  house,  forasmuch  as  he  also  is  a  son  of  Abraham.  10  For  the  Son  of  man  came  to 
seek  and  to  save  that  which  was  lost.

and  sent  an  ambassage  after  him,  saying,  We  will  not  that  this  man  reign  over  us.  15  And 
it  came  to  pass,  when  he  was  come  back  again,  having  received  the  kingdom,  that  he 
commanded  these  2 servants,  unto  whom  he  had  given  the  money,  to  be  called  to  him,  that  he 
might  know  what  they  had  gained  by  trading.  16  And  the  first  came  before  him,  saying, 
Lord,  thy  pound  hath  made  ten  pounds  more.  L7  And  he  said  unto  him,  Well  done,  thou 
good  3 servant:  because  thou  wast  found  faithful  in  a  very  little,  have  thou  authority  over 
ten  cities.  18  And  the  second  came,  saying,  Thy  pound,  Lord,  hath  made  five  pounds.  19 
And  he  said  unto  him  also,  Be  thou  also  over  five  cities.  20  And  4  another  came,  saying, 
Lord,  behold,  here  is  thy  pound,  which  I  kept  laid  up  in  a  napkin:  21  for  I  feared  thee, 
because  thou  art  an  austere  man  :  thou  takest  up  that1  thou  layedst  not  down,  and  reapest 
that1  thou  didst  not  sow.  22  He  saith  unto  him,  Out  of  thine  own  mouth  will  I  judge  thee, 
thou  wicked  3 servant.  Thou  knewest  that  I  am  an  austere  man,  taking  up  that1  I  laid  not 
down,  and  reaping  that1  I  did  not  sow;  23  then  wherefore  gavest  thou  not  my  money  into 
the  bank,  and  5 1  at  my  coming  should  have  required  it  with  interest  ?  24  And  he  said  unto 
them  that  stood  by,  Take  away  from  him  the  pound,  and  give  it  unto  him  that  hath  the  ten 
pounds.  25  And  they  said  unto  him,  Lord,  he  hath  ten  pounds.  26  a  I  say  unto  you,  that 
unto  every  one  that  hath  shall  be  given ;  but  from  him  that  hath  not,  even  that  which  he 
hath  shall  be  taken  away  from  him.  27  Howbeit2  these  mine  enemies,  which3  would  not 
that  I  should  reign  over  them,  bring  hither,  and  slay  them  before  me.

6  Now  when  Jesus 
was  in  Bethany,  in 
the  house  of  Simon 
the  leper,  7  there 
came  unto  him  a 
woman  having  1  an 
alabaster  cruse  of  ex¬ 
ceeding  precious  oint¬ 
ment,  and  she  poured 
it  upon  his  head,  as 
he  sat  at  meat.  8  But 
when  the  disciples 
saw  it,  they  had  in¬ 
dignation,  saying,  To 
what  purpose  is  this 
waste?  9  For  this 
ointment  might  have 
been  sold  for  much, 
and  given  to  the  poor. 
10  But  Jesus  perceiv¬

Why  trouble  ye  the 
woman?  for  she  hath 
wrought  a  good  work 
upon  me.  11  For  ye 
have  the  poor  always 
with  you;  but  me  ye 
have  not  always.  12 
For  in  that  she

upon  my  body,  she 
did  it  to  prepare  me 
for  burial.  13  Verily 
I  say  unto  you,  Where-

3  And  while  he  was 
in  Bethany  in  the

woman  having  1  an 
alabaster  cruse  of 
ointment  of  2  spike¬ 
nard1,  very  costly; 
and  she  brake  the 
cruse,  and  poured  it 
over  his  head.  4 
But  there  were  some 
that  had  indigna¬ 
tion  among  them¬ 
selves,  saying ,  To 
what  purpose  hath

ment  been  made?  5 
For  this  ointment 
might  have  been  sold 
for  above  three  hun¬ 
dred  3  pence2,  and 
given  to  the  poor. 
And  they  murmured 
against  her.  6  But 
Jesus  said,  Let  her 
alone ;  why  trouble  ye 
her  ?  she  hath  wrought 
a  good  work  on  me.  7 
For  ye  have  the  poor 
always  with  you,  and 
whensoever  ye  will  ye 
can  do  them  good :

think  ye?  That  he 
will  not  come  to  the 
feast?  57  Now  the 
chief  priests  and  the 
Pharisees  had  given 
commandment,  that, 
if  any  man  knew 
where  he  was,  he 
should  shew  it,  that 
they  might  take  him. 

12:1  Jesus  there¬ 
fore  six  days  before 
the  passover  came  to 
Bethany,  where  Laz¬

raised  from  the  dead. 
2  So  they  made  him  a 
supper  there :  and 
Martha  served ;  but 
Lazarus  was  one  of 
them  that  sat  at 
meat  with  him.  3 
Mary  therefore  took 
a  pound  of  ointment 
of  2  spikenard1,  very 
precious, and  anointed 
the  feet  of  Jesus,  and 
wiped  his  feet  with 
her  hair :  and  the 
house  was  filled  with 
the  odour  of  the 
ointment.  4  But  Ju¬

he  said,  not  because

1  And  when  they 
draw  nigh  unto  Jeru¬

at  the  mount  of 
Olives,  he  sendeth 
two  of  his  disciples,

Go  your  way  into  the 
village  that  is  over 
against  you :  and 
straightway  as  ye 
enter  into  it,  ye  shall 
find  a  colt  tied,  where¬

Why  do  ye  this?  say 
ye,  The  Lord  hath

street ;  and  they  loose 
him.  5  And  certain 
of  them  that  stood 
there  said  unto  them,

he  sent  two  of  the

they  that  were  sent 
went  away,  and  found 
even  as  he  had  said 
unto  them.  33  And 
as  they  were  loosing 
the  colt,  the  owners 
thereof  said  unto 
them,  Why  loose  ye

6  And  the  disciples 
went,  and  did  even 
as  Jesus  appointed 
them,  7  and  brought 
the  ass,  and  the  colt, 
and  put  on  them  their

And  they  brought  him

Jesus  thereon.  36 
And  as  he  went,  they 
spread  their  garments 
in  the  way.  37  And 
as  he  was  now  draw¬ 
ing  nigh,  even  at  the 
descent  of  the  mount 
of  Olives,  the  whole 
multitude  of  the  dis¬ 
ciples  began  to  rejoice 
and  praise  God  with 
a  loud  voice  for  all 
the  2  mighty  works 
which  they  had  seen  ; 
38  saying,  Blessed  is 
the  King  that  cometh 
in  the  name  of  the 
Lord:  peace  in  heaven, 
and  glory  in  the  high¬

unto  him,  3  Master1,

drew  nigh,  he  saw  the 
city  and  wept  over  it, 
42  saying,  4  If  thou

had  done  this  sign.

saying,  Who  is  this?  11 
And  the  multitudes 
said,  This  is  the  pro¬

Nazareth  of  Galilee. 
(+§121) 


11  And  he  entered 
into  Jerusalem,  into 
the  temple ;  and  when 
he  had  looked  round 
about  upon  all  things,

§  121.  SECOND  CLEANSING  OF  THE  TEMPLE. 


Matt.  21 : 12-17. 

12  And  Jesus  en¬ 
tered  into  the  temple 
Jof  God,  and  cast  out 
all  them  that  sold  and 
bought  in  the  temple, 
and  overthrew  the 
tables  of  the  money¬ 
changers,  and  the 
seats  of  them  that 
sold  the  doves ;  13 

and  he  saith  unto 
them,  It  is  written, 
My  house  shall  be 
called  a  house  of 
prayer  :  but  ye  make 
it  a  den  of  robbers. 


14  And  the  blind  and 
the  lame  came  to  him 
in  the  temple  :  and  he 
healed  them.  15  But 
when  the  chief  priests 
and  the  scribes  saw 
the  wonderful  things 
that  he  did,  and  the 
children  that  were 


Make  11:15-19. 

15  And  they  come 
to  Jerusalem  :  and  he 
entered  into  the  tem¬ 
ple,  and  began  to  cast 
out  them  that  sold 
and  them  that  bought 
in  the  temple,  and 
overthrew  the  tables 
of  the  money-chang¬ 
ers,  and  the  seats  of 
them  that  sold  the 
doves ;  16  and  he 

would  not  suffer  that 
any  man  should  carry 
a  vessel  through  the 
temple.  17  And  he 
taught,  and  said  unto 
them,  Is  it  not  writ¬ 
ten,  My  house  shall  be 
called  a  house  of  pray¬ 
er  for  all  the  nations? 
but  ye  have  made  it 
it  a  den  of  robbers. 
18  And  the  chief 
priests  and  the  scribes 
heard  it,  and  sought 
how  they  might  de¬ 
stroy  him  :  for  they 
feared  him,  for  all 
the  multitude  was 
astonished  at  his 
teaching. 


Luke  19:45-48. 

45  And  he  entered 
into  the  temple,  and 
began  to  cast  out  them

unto  them,  It  is  writ¬ 
ten,  And  my  house 
shall  be  a  house  of 
prayer  :  but  ye  have 
made  it  a  den  of  rob¬ 
bers. 


47  And  he  was 
teaching  daily  in  the 
temple.  But  the  chief 
priests  and  the  scribes 
and  the  principal  men 
of  the  people  sought 
to  destroy  him :  48 
and  they  could  not 
find  what  they  might

14  And  he  found  in  the 
temple  those  that  sold 
oxen  and  sheep  and 
doves,  and  the  changers 
of  money  sitting :  15 
and  he  made  a  scourge 
of  cords,  and  cast  all 
out  of  the  temple,  both 
the  sheep  and  the  oxen ; 
and  he  poured  out  the 
changers’  money,  and 
overthrew  their  tables; 
16  and  to  them  that 
sold  the  doves  he  said, 
Take  these  things 
hence ;  make  not  my 
Father’s  house  a  house 
of  merchandise.  17  His 
disciples  remembered 
that  it  was  written,  The 
zeal  of  thine 1  house 
shall  eat  me  up.  18  The 
Jews  therefore  answered 
and  said  unto  him,  What 
sign  shewest  thou  unto

was  teaching,  and  said,  By 
what  authority  doest  thou 
these  things?  and  who  gave 
thee  this  authority?  24  And 
Jesus  answered  and  said  unto 
them,  I  also  will  ask  you  one

28  But  what  think  ye?  A 
man  had  two  sons ;  and  he 
came  to  the  first,  and  said, 
^on,  go  work  to-day  in  the 
vineyard.  29  And  he  an¬ 
swered  and  said,  I  will  not : 
but  afterward  he  repented 
himself,  and  went.  30  And 
he  came  to  the  second,  and 
said  likewise.  And  he  an¬ 
swered  and  said,  I  go ,  sir: 
and  went  not.  31  Whether1 
of  the  twain2  did  the  will  of 
his  father?  They  say,  The 
first.  Jesus  saith  unto  them, 
Verily  I  say  unto  you,  that 
the  publicans  and  the  harlots 
go  into  the  kingdom  of  God 
before  you.  32  For  John  came 
unto  you  in  the  way  of  righ¬ 
teousness,  and  ye  believed  him 
not :  but  the  publicans  and 
the  harlots  believed  him :  and 
ye,  when  ye  saw  it,  did  not 
even  repent  yourselves  after¬

him.

There  was  a  man  that  was  a 
householder,  which3  planted 
a  vineyard,  and  set  a  hedge 
about  it,  and  digged  a  wine¬ 
press  in  it,  and  built  a  tower,

of  the  fruits  drew  near,  he 
sent  his  1  servants  to  the  hus¬ 
bandmen,  to  receive  2  his 
fruits.  35  And  the  husband¬ 
men  took  his  Servants,  and 
beat  one,  and  killed  another, 
and  stoned  another.  36  Again, 
he  sent  other  Servants  more 
than  the  first :  and  they  did 
unto  them  in  like  manner.  37 
But  afterward  he  sent  unto 
them  his  son,  saying,  They 
will  reverence  my  son.  38 
But  the  husbandmen,  when 
they  saw  the  son,  said  among 
themselves,  This  is  the  heir  ; 
come,  let  us  kill  him,  and  take 
his  inheritance.  39  And  they 
took  him,  and  cast  him  forth 
out  of  the  vineyard,  and  killed 
him.  40  When  therefore  the 
lord  of  the  vineyard  shall 
come,  what  will  he  do  unto 
those  husbandmen?  41  They 
say  unto  him,  He  will  miser¬ 
ably  destroy  those  miserable 
men,  and  will  let  out  the 
vineyard  unto  other  husband¬ 
men,  which1  shall  render  him 
the  fruits  in  their  seasons.  42 
Jesus  saith  unto  them,  Did 
ye  never  read  in  the  scrip¬ 
tures, 

The  stone  which  the  build¬ 
ers  rejected, 

The  same  was  made  the

the  season  he  sent  to  the  hus¬ 
bandmen  a  3 servant,  that  he 
might  receive  from  the  hus¬ 
bandmen  of  the  fruits  of  the 
vineyard.  3  And  they  took 
him,  and  beat  him,  and  sent 
him  away  empty.  4  And  again 
he  sent  unto  them  another 
3  servant;  and  him  they 
wounded  in  the  head,  and 
handled  shamefully.  5  And 
he  sent  another;  and  him 
they  killed:  and  many  others; 
beating  some,  and  killing 
some.  6  He  had  yet  one,  a 
beloved  son  :  he  sent  him  last 
unto  them,  saying,  They  will 
reverence  my  son.  7  But  those 
husbandmen  said  among 
themselves,  This  is  the  heir ; 
come,  let  us  kill  him,  and  the 
inheritance  shall  be  ours.  8 
And  they  took  him,  and  killed 
him,  and  cast  him  forth  out  of 
the  vineyard.  9  What  there¬ 
fore  will  the  lord  of  the  vine¬ 
yard  do?  he  will  come  and 
destroy  the  husbandmen,  and 
will  give  the  vineyard  unto 
others.  10  Have  ye  not  read 
even  this  scripture ; 

The  stone  which  the  build¬ 
ers  rejected, 

The  same  was  made  the 
head  of  the  corner  : 

11  This  was  from  the  Lord, 

And  it  is  marvellous  in  our 
eyes? 


Luke  20. 

they  should  give  him  of  the 
fruit  of  the  vineyard  :  but  the 
husbandmen  beat  him,  and 
sent  him  away  empty.  11 
And  he  sent  yet  another  3  ser¬ 
vant  :  and  him  also  they  beat, 
and  handled  him  shamefully, 
and  sent  him  away  empty.  12 
And  he  sent  yet  a  third  :  and 
him  also  they  wounded,  and 
cast  him  forth.  13  And  the 
lord  of  the  vineyard  said, 
What  shall  I  do?  I  will  send 
my  beloved  son :  it  may  be 
they  will  reverence  him.  14 
But  when  the  husbandmen 
saw  him,  they  reasoned  one 
with  another,  saying,  This  is 
the  heir :  let  us  kill  him,  that 
the  inheritance  may  be  ours. 
15  And  they  cast  him  forth 
out  of  the  vineyard,  and  killed 
him.  What  therefore  will  the 
lord  of  the  vineyard  do  unto 
them?  16  He  will  come  and 
destroy  these  husbandmen, 
and  will  give  the  vineyard 
unto  others.  And  when  they 
heard  it,  they  said,  4  God  for¬ 
bid.  17  But  he  looked  upon 
them,  and  said,  What  then  is 
this  that  is  written, 

The  stone  which  the  build¬ 
ers  rejected, 

The  same  was  made  the 
head  of  the  corner? 

18  Every  one  that  falleth  on

shall  fall,  it  will  scatter  him

shall  fall,  it  will  scatter  him 
as  dust.  45  And  when  the 
chief  priests  and  the  Phari¬ 
sees  heard  his  parables,  they 
perceived  that  he  spake  of 
them. 

46  And  when  they  sought 
to  lay  hold  on  him,  they 
feared  the  multitudes,  be¬ 
cause  they  took  him  for  a 
prophet. 


22: 1  aAnd  Jesus  answered 
and  spake  again  in  parables 
unto  them,  saying,  2  The 
kingdom  of  heaven  is  likened 
unto  a  certain  king,  which1 
made  a  marriage  feast  for  his 
son,  3  and  sent  forth  his 
2 servants  to  call  them  that 
were  bidden  to  the  marriage 
feast :  and  they  would  not 
come.  4  Again  he  sent  forth 
other  2  servants,  saying,  Tell 
them  that  are  bidden,  Behold, 
I  have  made  ready  my  dinner : 
my  oxen  and  my  fatlings  are 
killed,  and  all  things  are 
ready :  come  to  the  marriage 
feast.  5  But  they  made  light 
of  it,  and  went  their  ways,  one 
to  his  own  farm,  another  to 
his  merchandise  :  6  and  the 

rest  laid  hold  on  his  2servants, 
and  entreated2  them  shame¬ 
fully,  and  killed  them.  7  But 
the  king  was  wroth ;  and  he 
sent  his  armies,  and  destroyed 
those  murderers,  and  burned 


Mark  12. 


12  And  they  sought  to  lay 
hold  on  him  ;  and  they  feared 
the  multitude ;  for  they  per¬ 
ceived  that  he  spake  the  par¬ 
able  against  them :  and  they 
left  him,  and  went  away.

19  And  the  scribes  and  the 
chief  priests  sought  to  lay 
hands  on  him  in  that  very 
hour;  and  they  feared  the 
people :  for  they  perceived 
that  he  spake  this  parable 
against  them. 

[aLuke  14:15-24.  And  when 
one  of  them  that  sat  at  meat 
with  him  heard  these  things,  he 
said  unto  him,  Blessed  is  he  that 
shall  eat  bread  in  the  kingdom  of 
God.  16  But  he  said  unto  him, 
A  certain  man  made  a  great  sup¬ 
per  ;  and  he  bade  many :  17  and 
he  sent  forth  his  servant  at  sup¬ 
per  time  to  say  to  them  that  were 
bidden,  Come ;  for  all  things  are 
now  ready.  18  And  they  all  with 
one  consent  began  to  make  ex¬ 
cuse.  The  first  said  unto  him,  I 
have  bought  a  field,  and  I  must 
needs  go  out  and  see  it :  I  pray 
thee  have  me  excused.  19  And 
another  said,  I  have  bought  five 
yoke  of  oxen,  and  I  go  to  prove 
them:  I  pray  thee  have  me  ex¬ 
cused.  20  And  another  said,  I 
have  married  a  wife,  and  there¬ 
fore  I  cannot  come.  21  And  the 
3  servant  came,  and  told  his  lord 
these  things.  Then  the  master 
of  the  house  being  angry  said

to  his  1  servants.  The  wed¬ 
ding  is  ready,  but  they  that 
were  bidden  were  not  worthy. 
9  Go  ye  therefore  unto  the 
partings  of  the  highways,  and 
as  many  as  ye  shall  find,  bid 
to  the  marriage  feast.  10 
And  those  1  servants  went  out 
into  the  highways,  and  gath¬ 
ered  together  all  as  many  as 
they  found,  both  bad  and 
good :  and  the  wedding  was 
filled  with  guests.  11  But 
when  the  king  came  in  to  be¬ 
hold  the  guests,  he  saw  there 
a  man  which1  had  not  on  a

he  saith  unto  him,  Friend, 
how  earnest  thou  in  hither 
not  having  a  wedding-gar¬ 
ment?  And  he  was  speech¬ 
less.  13  Then  the  king  said 
to  the  2  servants,  Bind  him 
hand  and  foot,  aand  cast  him 
out  into  the  outer  darkness ; 
there  shall  be  the  weeping

what  thou  didst  command  is  done, 
and  yet  there  is  room.  23  And 
the  lord  said  unto  the  3  servant, 
Go  out  into  the  highways  and 
hedges,  and  constrain  them  to 
come  in,  that  my  house  may  be 
filled.  24  For  I  say  unto  you,

they  might  ensnarehim  in  his 
talk.  16  And  they  send  to 
him  their  disciples,  with  the 
Herodians,  saying,  1  Master1, 
we  know  that  thou  art  true, 
and  teachest  the  way  of  God 
in  truth,  and  carest  not  for 
any  one :  for  thou  regardest 
not  the  person  of  men.  17 
Tell  us  therefore,  What  think- 
est  thou?  Is  it  lawful  to  give 
tribute  unto  Caesar,  or  not? 

18  But  Jesus  perceived  their 
wickedness,  and  said,  Why 
tempt  ye2  me,  ye  hypocrites? 

19  Shew  me  the  tribute 
money.  And  they  brought 
unto  him  a  2 penny3.  20  And 
he  saith  unto  them,  Whose  is 
this  image  and  superscrip¬ 
tion?  21  They  say  unto  him, 
Caesar’s.  Then  saith  he  unto 
them,  Render  therefore  unto 
Caesar  the  things  that  are 
Caesar’s;  and  unto  God  the 
things  that  are  God’s.  22 
And  when  they  heard  it,  they 
marvelled,  and  left  him,  and 
went  their  way4. 

23  On  that  day  there  came 
to  him  Sadducees,  3  which 5 
say  that  there  is  no  resurrec¬ 
tion  :  and  they  asked  him, 
24  saying,  1  Master1,  Moses 
said,  If  a  man  die,  having  no 
children,  his  brother  4  shall 
marry  his  wife,  and  raise  up 
seed  unto  his  brother.  25 
Now  there  were  with  us  seven 
brethren :  and  the  first  mar¬ 
ried  and  deceased,  and  having 
no  seed  left  his  wife  unto  his 
brother ;  26  in  like  manner 
the  second  also,  and  the  third,

of  the  Herodians,  that  they 
might  catch  him  in  talk.  14 
And  when  they  were  come, 
they  say  unto  him,  1  Master1, 
we  know  that  thou  art  true, 
and  carest  not  for  any  one : 
for  thou  regardest  not  the 
person  of  men,  but  of  a  truth 
teachest  the  way  of  God :  Is 
it  lawful  to  give  tribute  unto 
Caesar,  or  not?  15  Shall  we 
give,  or  shall  we  not  give? 
But  he,  knowing  their  hypoc¬ 
risy,  said  unto  them,  Why 
tempt  ye2  me?  bring  me  a 
2 penny3,  that  I  may  see  it. 
16  And  they  brought  it.  And 
he  saith  unto  them,  Whose  is 
this  image  and  superscrip¬ 
tion?  And  they  said  unto 
him,  Caesar’s.  17  And  Jesus 
said  unto  them,  Render  unto 
Caesar  the  things  that  are 
Caesar’s,  and  unto  God  the 
things  that  are  God’s.  And 
they  marvelled  greatly  at  him. 


18  And  there  come  unto  him 
Sadducees,  which6  say  that 
there  is  no  resurrection  ;  and 
they  asked  him,  saying,  19 
faster1,  Moses  wrote  unto 
unto  us,  If  a  man’s  brother 
die,  and  leave  a  wife  behind 
him,  and  leave  no  child,  that 
his  brother  should  take  his 
wife,  and  raise  up  seed  unto 
his  brother.  20  There  were 
seven  brethren  :  and  the  first

her,  and  died,  leaving  no  seed

feigned  themselves  to  be 
righteous,  that  they  might 
take  hold  of  his  speech,  so  as 
to  deliver  him  up  to  the  rule 
and  to  the  authority  of  the 
governor.  21  And  they  asked 
him,  saying,  1  Master1,  we 
know  that  thou  sayest  and 
teaches-t  rightly,  and  accept- 
est  not  the  person  of  any ,  but 
of  a  truth  teachest  the  way 
of  God  :  22  Is  it  lawful  for 
us  to  give  tribute  unto  Caesar, 
or  not?  23  But  he  perceived 
their  craftiness,  and  said  unto 
them,  24  Shew  me  a  2  penny3. 
Whose  image  and  superscrip¬ 
tion  hath  it?  And  they  said, 
Caesar’s.  25  And  he  said  unto 
them,  Then  render  unto  Csesar 
the  things  that  are  Caesar’s, 
and  unto  God  the  things  that 
are  God’s.  26  And  they  were 
not  able  to  take  hold  of  the 
saying  before  the  people  :  and 
they  marvelled  at  his  answer, 
and  held  their  peace. 


27  And  there  came  to  him 
certain  of  the  Sadducees,  they 
which3  say  that  there  is  no 
resurrection  ;  and  they  asked 
him,  28  saying,  1  Master1, 
Moses  wrote  unto  us,  that  if 
a  man’s  brother  die,  having  a 
wife,  and  he  be  childless,  his 
brother  should  take  the  wife, 
and  raise  up  seed  unto  his

after  them  all  the  woman 
died.  28  In  the  resurrection 
therefore  whose  wife  shall  she 
be  of  the  seven?  for  they  all 
had  her.  29  But  Jesus  an¬

scriptures,  nor  the  power  of 
God.  30  For  in  the  resurrec¬

read  that  which  was  spoken 
unto  you  by  God,  saying,  32 
I  am  the  God  of  Abraham, 
and  the  God  of  Isaac,  and 
the  God  of  Jacob?  God  is 
not  the  God  of  the  dead,  but 
of  the  living.  33  And  when 
the  multitudes  heard  it,  they 
wrere  astonished  at  his  teach¬ 
ing. 


34  But  the  Pharisees,  when 
they  heard  that  he  had  put 
the  Sadducees  to  silence, 
gathered  themselves  together. 
35  And  one  of  them,  a  lawyer, 
asked  him  a  question,  tempt¬ 
ing1  him,  36  3 Master2,  which 
is  the  great  commandment  in 
the  law?  37  And  he  said 
unto  him,  Thou  shalt  love 
the  Lord  thy  God  with  all 
thy  heart,  and  with  all  thy 
soul,  and  with  all  thy  mind. 
38  This  is  the  great  and  first 
commandment.  39  4  And  a

behind  him ;  and  the  third 
likewise :  22  and  the  seven 
left  no  seed.  Last  of  all  the 
woman  also  died.  23  In  the 
resurrection  whose  wife  shall 
she  be  of  them?  for  the  seven 
had  her  to  wife.  24  Jesus 
said  unto  them,  Is  it  not  for 
this  cause  that  ye  err,  that  ye 
know  not  the  scriptures,  nor 
the  power  of  God?  25  For 
when  they  shall  rise  from  the 
dead,  they  neither  marry,  nor 
are  given  in  marriage ;  but 
are  as  angels  in  heaven.  26 
But  as  touching  the  dead, 
that  they  are  raised  ;  have  ye 
not  read  in  the  book  of  Moses, 
in  the  place  concerning  the 
Bush,  how  God  spake  unto 
him,  saying,  I  am  the  God  of 
Abraham,  and  the  God  of 
Isaac,  and  the  God  of  Jacob? 
27  He  is  not  the  God  of  the 
dead,  but  of  the  living  :  ye  do 
greatly  err. 


28  And  one  of  the  scribes 
came,  and  heard  them  ques¬ 
tioning  together,  and  knowing 
that  he  had  answered  them 
well,  asked  him,  What  com¬ 
mandment  is  the  first  of  all? 
29  Jesus  answered,  The  first 
is,  Hear,  O  Israel ;  5  The  Lord 
our  God,  the  Lord  is  one  :  30 
and  thou  shalt  love  the  Lord 
thy  God  6  with  all  thy  heart, 
and  6  with  all  thy  soul,  and 
6  with  all  thy  mind,  and  6  with 
all  thy  strength.  31  The 
second  is  this,  Thou  shalt

and  likewise  the  seven  also 
left  no  children,  and  died.  32 
Afterward  the  woman  also 
died.  33  In  the  resurrection 
therefore  whose  wife  of  them 
shall  she  be?  for  the  seven 
had  her  to  wife.  34  And 
Jesus  said  unto  them,  The 
sons  of  this  7  world  marry, 
and  are  given  in  marriage : 
35  but  they  that  are  ac¬ 
counted  worthy  to  attain  to 
that  7  world,  and  the  resur¬ 
rection  from  the  dead,  neither 
marry,  nor  are  given  in  mar¬ 
riage  :  36  for  neither  can 

they  die  any  more :  for  they 
are  equal  unto  the  angels; 
and  are  sons  of  God,  being 
sons  of  the  resurrection.  37 
But  that  the  dead  are  raised, 
even  Moses  shewed,  in  the 
place  concerning  the  Bush, 
when  he  calleth  the  Lord  the 
God  of  Abraham,  and  the 
God  of  Isaac,  and  the  God  of 
Jacob.  38  Now  he  is  not  the 
God  of  the  dead,  but  of  the 
living :  for  all  live  unto  him. 
39  And  certain  of  the  scribes 
answering  said,  3  Master2, 
thou  hast  well  said.  40  For 
they  durst  not  any  more  ask 
him  any  question.

with  all  the  strength,  and  to 
love  his  neighbour  as  himself, 
is  much  more  than  all  whole

34  And  when  Jesus  saw  that 
he  answered  discreetly,  he 
said  unto  him,  Thou  art  not 
far  from  the  kingdom  of  God. 
And  no  man  after  that  durst 
ask  him  any  question. 


§  126.  CHRIST'S  UNANSWERABLE  QUESTION. 


Matt.  22 : 41-46. 

41  Now  while  the  Phari¬ 
sees  were  gathered  together, 
Jesus  asked  them  a  question, 
42  saying,  What  think  ye  of 
the  Christ?  whose  son  is  he? 
They  say  unto  him,  The  son  of 
David.  43  He  saith  unto  them, 
How  then  doth  David  in  the 
Spirit  call  him  Lord,  saying, 

44  The  Lord  said  unto  my 

Lord, 

Sit  thou  on  my  right  hand, 
Till  I  put  thine  enemies 
underneath  thy  feet? 

45  If  David  then  calleth  him 
Lord,  how  is  he  his  son?  46 
And  no  one  was  able  to  answer 
him  a  word,  neither  durst  any 
man  from  that  day  forth  ask 
him  any  more  questions. 


Mark  12:35-37. 

35  And  Jesus  answered 
and  said,  as  he  taught  in  the 
temple,  How  say  the  scribes 
that  the  Christ  is  the  son  of 
David?  36  David  himself 
said  in  the  Holy  Spirit, 

The  Lord  said  unto  my 
Lord, 

Sit  thou  on  my  right  hand, 
Till  I  make  thine  enemies 
2  the  footstool  of  thy  feet. 
37  David  himself  calleth  him 
Lord ;  and  whence  is  he  his 
son?  And  8  the  common 
people  heard  him  gladly. 


[Cf.  vs.  34,  §  125.] 


Luke  20 : 41-44. 

41  And  he  said  unto  them, 
How  say  they  that  the  Christ 
is  David’s  son?  42  For  David 
himself  saith  in  the  book  of 
Psalms, 

The  Lord  said  unto  my 
Lord, 

Sit  thou  on  my  right  hand, 

43  Till  I  make  thine  enemies 

the  footstool  of  thy  feet.

son?

Matt.,  chap.  23. 

.1  Then  spake  Jesus  to  the 
multitudes  and  to  his  disci¬ 
ples,  2  saying,  The  scribes  and 
the  Pharisees  sit  on  Moses’ 
seat:  3  all  things  therefore 
whatsoever  they  bid  you, 
these  do  and  observe  :  but  do 
not  ye  after  their  works  ;  for 
they  say,  and  do  not.  4  aYea, 
they  bind  heavy  burdens  Jand 
grievous  to  be  borne,  and  lay 
them  on  men’s  shoulders  ;  but 
they  themselves  will  not  move 
them  with  their  finger.  5  But 
all  their  works  they  do  for1 
to  be  seen  of  men :  for  they 
make  broad  their  phylacteries, 
and  enlarge  the  borders  of 
their  garments ,  6  band  love 
the  chief  place  at  feasts,  and 
the  chief  seats  in  the  syna¬

But  be  not  ye  called  Rabbi : 
for  one  is  your  teacher,  and 
all  ye  are  brethren.  9  And 
call  no  man  your  father  on  the 
earth :  for  one  is  your  Father, 
2  which 3  is  in  heaven.  10

by  the  gift  that  is  upon  it,  he  is  6 a  debtor.  19  Ye  blind  :  for  whether2  is  greater,  the  gift,  or 
the  altar  that  sanctifieth  the  gift?  20  He  therefore  that  sweareth  by  the  altar,  sweareth  by

are  full  of  hypocrisy  and  iniquity.

§  129.  GENTILES  SEEKING  JESUS. 

John  12:20-36. 

20  Now  there  were  certain  Greeks  among  those  that  went  up  to  worship  at  the  feast: 
21  these  therefore  came  to  Philip,  which1  was  of  Bethsaidaof  Galilee,  and  asked  him,  saying, 
Sir,  we  would  see  Jesus.  22  Philip  cometh  and  telleth  Andrew  :  Andrew  cometh,  and  Philip, 
and  they  tell  Jesus.  23  And  Jesus  answereth  them,  saying,  The  hour  is  come,  that  the  Son 
of  man  should  be  glorified.  24  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you,  Except  a  grain  of  wheat  fall 
into  the  earth  and  die,  it  abideth  by  itself  alone ;  but  if  it  die,  it  beareth  much  fruit.  25 
aHe  that  loveth  his  ^ife  loseth  it;  and  he  that  hateth  his  Uife  in  this  world  shall  keep  it 
unto  life  eternal.  26  If  any  man  serve  me,  let  him  follow  me  ;  and  where  I  am,  there  shall 
also  my  servant  be :  if  any  man  serve  me,  him  will  the  Father  honour.  27  bNow  is  my  soul 
troubled;  and  what  shall  I  say?  cFather,  save  me  from  this  2hour.  But  for  this  cause 
came  I  unto  this  hour.  28  Father,  glorify  thy  name.  There  came  therefore  a  voice  out  of 
heaven,  saying ,  I  have  both  glorified  it,  and  will  glorify  it  again.  29  The  multitude  therefore, 
that  stood  by,  and  heard  it,  said  that  it  had  thundered  :  others  said,  An  angel  hath  spoken 
to  him.  30  Jesus  answered  and  said,  This  voice  hath  not  come  for  my  sake,  but  for  your  sakes. 

31  Now  is  3 the  judgement  of  this  world:  now  shall  the  prince  of  this  world  be  cast  out. 

32  And  I,  if  I  be  lifted  up  4  from  the  earth,  will  draw  all  men  unto  myself.  33  But  this  he 
said,  signifying  by  what  manner  of  death  he  should  die.  34  The  multitude  therefore 
answered  him,  We  have  heard  out  of  the  law  that  the  Christ  abideth  for  ever:  and  how 
sayest  thou,  The  Son  of  man  must  be  lifted  up  ?  wh  is  this  Son  of  man  ?  35  Jesus  there¬ 
fore  said  unto  them,  Yet  a  little  while  is  the  light  6 among  you.  Walk  while  ye  have  the 
light,  that  darkness  overtake  you  not :  and  he  that  walketh  in  the  darkness  knoweth  not 
whither  ho  goeth  36  While  ye  have  the  light,  believe  on  the  light,  that  ye  may  become 
sons  of  light. 

These  things  spake  Jesus,  and  he  departed  and  6  hid  himself  from  them.

§  130.  THE  JEWS’  REJECTION  OF  CHRIST. 

John  12:37-50. 

37  But  though  he  had  done  so  many  signs  before  them,  yet  they  believed  not  on  him : 

38  that  the  word  of  Isaiah  the  prophet  might  be  fulfilled,  which  he  spake, 

Lord,  who  hath  believed  our  report  ? 

*  And  to  whom  hath  the  arm  of  the  Lord  been  revealed  ? 

39  For  this  cause  they  could  not  believe,  for  that  Isaiah  said  again, 

40  He  hath  blinded  their  eyes,  and  he  hardened  their  heart; 

Lest  they  should  see  with  their  eyes,  and  perceive  with  their  heart, 

And  should  turn, 

And  I  should  heal  them. 

41  These  things  said  Isaiah,  because  he  saw  his  glory ;  and  he  spake  of  him.  42  Neverthe¬ 
less  even  of  the  rulers  many  believed  on  him;  but  because  of  the  Pharisees  they  did  not 
confess  1iti  lest  they  should  be  put  out  of  the  synagogue:  43  for  they  loved  the  glory  of 1 
men  more  than  the  glory  of1  God. 

44  And  Jesus  cried  and  said,  He  that  believeth  on  me,  belie veth  not  on  me,  but  on  him 
that  sent  me.  45  And  he  that  beholdeth  me  beholdeth  him  that  sent  me.  46  I  am  come  a 
light  into  the  world,  that  whosoever  believeth  on  me  may  not  abide  in  the  darkness.  47  And 
if  any  man  hear  my  sayings,  and  keep  them  not,  I  judge  him  not:  for  I  came  not  to  judge 
the  world,  but  to  save  the  world.  48  He  that  rejecteth  me,  and  receiveth  not  my  sayings, 
hath  one  that  judge th  him  :  the  word  that  I  spake,  the  same  shall  judge  him  in  the  last  day. 
49  For  I  spake  not  from  myself;  but  the  Father  which2  sent  me,  he  hath  given  me  a  com¬ 
mandment,  what  I  should  say,  and  what  I  should  speak.  50  And  I  know  that  his  command¬ 
ment  is  life  eternal:  the  things  [therefore  which  X  speak,  even  as  the  Father  hath  said  unto 
me,  so  I  speak.

came  to  him  to  shew  him  the

is,  there  will  the  4  eagles  be

29  But  immediately,  after 
the  tribulation  of  those  days, 
the  sun  shall  be  darkened,  and 
the  moon  shall  not  give  her 
light,  and  the  stars  shall  fall 
from  heaven,  and  the  powers 
of  the  heavens  shall  be  shaken : 
30  and  then  shall  appear  the 
sign  of  the  Son  of  man  in 
heaven :  and  then  shall  all 
the  tribes  of  the  earth  mourn, 
and  they  shall  see  the  Son  of 
man  coming  on  the  clouds  of

20  And  except  the  Lord  had 
shortened  the  days,  no  flesh 
would  have  been  saved :  but 
for  the  elect’s  sake,  whom  he 
chose,  he  shortened  the  days. 

21  a  And  then  if  any  man  shall 

say  unto  you,  Lo,  here  is  the 
Christ;  or,  Lo,  there;  believe 
1  it  not :  22  for  there  shall 

arise  false  Christs  and  false 
prophets,  and  shall  shew  signs 
and  wonders,  that  they  may 
lead  astray,  if  possible,  the 
elect.  23  But  take  ye  heed : 
behold,  I  have  told  you  all 
things  beforehand. 


24  But  in  those  days,  after 
that  tribulation,  the  sun  shall 
be  darkened,  and  the  moon 
shall  not  give  her  light,  25 
and  the  stars  shall  be  falling 
from  heaven,  and  the  powers 
that  are  in  the  heavens  shall 
be  shaken.  26  And  then  shall

and  glory.  27  And  then  shall 
he  send  forth  the  angels,  and 
shall  gather  together  his  elect

billows;  26  men  6 fainting 
for  fear,  and  for  expectation

glory.  31  And  he  shall  send 
forth  his  angels  xwith  2  a 
great  sound  of  a  trumpet, 
and  they  shall  gather  together 
his  elect  from  the  four  winds, 
from  one  end  of  heaven  to  the 
other. 

32  Now  from  the  fig  tree 
learn  her  parable  :  when  her 
branch  is  now  become  tender, 
and  putteth  forth  its  leaves, 
ye  know  that  the  summer  is 
nigh ;  33  even  so  ye  also, 

when  ye  see  all  these  things, 
know  ye  that  3 4  he  is  nigh,  even 
at  the  doors.  34  Verily  I  say 
unto  you,  This  generation 
shall  not  pass  away,  till  all 
these  things  be  accomplished. 
35  Heaven  and  earth  shall  pass 
away,  but  my  words  shall  not 
pass  away.  36  But  of  that 
day  and  hour  knoweth  no  one, 
not  even  the  angels  of  heaven, 
4  neither  the  Son,  but  the 
Father  only.  37  aAnd  as 
were  the  days  of  Noah,  so 
shall  be  the  5  coming  of  the 
Son  of  man.  38  For  as  in 
those  days  which  were  before 
the  flood  they  were  eating 
and  drinking,  marrying  and 
giving  in  marriage,  until  the 
day  that  Noah  entered  into 
the  ark,  39  and  they  knew 
not  until  the  flood  came,  and 
took  them  all  away ;  so  shall 
be  the  6  coming  of  the  Son  of 
man.  40  bThen  shall  two 
men  be  in  the  field ;  one  is 


Mark  13. 

from  the  four  winds,  from  the 
uttermost  part  of  the  earth  to 
the  uttermost  part  of  heaven. 


28  Now  from  the  fig  tree 
learn  her  parable  :  when  her 
branch  is  now  become  tender, 
and  putteth  forth  its  leaves, 
ye  know  that  the  summer  is 
nigh ;  29  even  so  ye  also, 

when  ye  see  these  things  com¬ 
ing  to  pass,  know  ye  that  3  he 
is  nigh,  even  at  the  doors.  30 
Verily  I  say  unto  you,  This 
generation  shall  not  pass  away, 
until  all  these  things  be  accom¬ 
plished.  31  Heaven  and  earth 
shall  pass  away:  but  my  words 
shall  not  pass  away.  32  But 
of  that  day  or  that  hour 
knoweth  no  one,  not  even  the 
angels  in  heaven,  neither  the 
Son,  but  the  Father.

these  things  begin  to  come  to 
pass,  look  up,  and  lift  up  your 
heads;  because  your  redemp¬ 
tion  draweth  nigh. 


29  And  he  spake  to  them  a 
parable :  Behold  the  fig  tree, 
and  all  the  trees :  30  when 

they  now  shoot  forth,  ye  see 
it  and  know  of  your  own  selves 
that  the  summer  is  now  nigh. 
31  Even  so  ye  also,  when  ye 
see  these  things  coming  to 
pass,  know  ye  that  the  king¬ 
dom  of  God  is  nigh.  32  Verily 
I  say  unto  you,  This  genera¬ 
tion  shall  not  pass  away,  till 
all  things  be  accomplished. 
33  Heaven  and  earth  shall 
pass  away :  but  my  words 
shall  not  pass  away.

watched,  and  would  not  have

46  Blessed  is  that  8  servant, 
whom  his  lord  when  he  com¬

servants,  and  shall  eat  and

he  expecteth  not,  and  in  an

ye  heed,  watch  4  and  pray :

country,  having  left  his  house, 
and  given  authority  to  his 
5  servants,  to  each  one  his 
work,  commanded  also  the 
porter  to  watch.  35  a  Watch 
therefore :  for  ye  know  not 
when  the  lord  of  the  house 
cometh,  whether  at  even,  or 
at  midnight,  or  at  cock-crow¬ 
ing,  or  in  the  morning;  36 
lest  coming  suddenly  he  find 
you  sleeping.  37  And  what 
I  say  unto  you  I  say  unto  all, 
Watch. 


Luke  21. 


34  But  take  heed  to  your¬ 
selves,  lest  haply  your  hearts 
be  overcharged  with  surfeit¬ 
ing,  and  drunkenness,  and 
cares  of  this  life,  and  that  day 
come  on  you  suddenly  35  as 
a  snare :  for  so  shall  it  come 
upon  all  them  that  dwell  on

making  supplication,  that  ye 
may  prevail  to  escape  all  these 
things  that  shall  come  to

went  away  to  buy,  the  bridegroom  came ;  and  they  that  were  ready  went  in  with  him  to 
the  marriage  feast :  and  the  door  was  shut.  11  Afterward  come  also  the  other  virgins, 
saying,  “Lord,  Lord,  open  to  us.  12  But  he  answered  and  said,  Verily  I  say  unto  you,  I 
know  you  not.  13  b  Watch  therefore,  for  ye  know  not  the  day  nor  the  hour. 

14  cFor  it  is  as  when  a  man,  going  into  another  country,  called  his  own  Servants,  and 
delivered  unto  them  his  goods.  15  And  unto  one  he  gave  five  talents,  to  another  two,  to 
another  one;  to  each  according  to  his  several  ability;  and  he  went  on  his  journey.  16  Straight¬ 
way  he  that  received  the  five  talents  went  and  traded  with  them,  and  made  other  five  talents. 
17  In  like  manner  he  also  that  received  the  two  gained  other  two.  18  But  he  that  received 
the  one  went  away  and  digged  in  the  earth,  and  hid  his  lord's  money.  19  Now  after  a  long 
time  the  lord  of  those  Servants  cometh,  and  maketh  a  reckoning  with  them.  20  And  he 
that  received  the  five  talents  came  and  brought  other  five  talents,  saying,  Lord,  thou 
deliveredst  unto  me  five  talents  :  lo,  I  have  gained  other  five  talents.  21  His  lord  said  unto 
him,  Well  done,  good  and  faithful  2 servant :  thou  hast  been  faithful  over  a  few  things,  I  will 
set  thee  over  many  things  :  enter  thou  into  the  joy  of  thy  lord.  22  And  he  also  that  received 
the  two  talents  came  and  said,  Lord,  thou  deliveredst  unto  me  two  talents  :  lo,  I  have  gained 
other  two  talents.  23  His  lord  said  unto  him,  Well  done,  good  and  faithful  2 servant :  thou 
hast  been  faithful  over  a  few  things,  I  will  set  thee  over  many  things :  enter  thou  into  the 
joy  of  thy  lord.  24  And  he  also  that  had  received  the  one  talent  came  and  said,  Lord,  I 
knew  thee  that  thou  art  a  hard  man,  reaping  where  thou  didst  not  sow,  and  gathering 
where  thou  didst  not  scatter  :  25  and  I  was  afraid,  and  went  away  and  hid  thy  talent  in  the 
earth :  lo,  thou  hast  thine  own.  26  But  his  lord  answered  and  said  unto  him,  Thou 
wicked  and  slothful  2  servant,  thou  knewest  that  I  reap  where  I  sowed  not,  and  gather 
where  I  did  not  scatter;  27  thou  oughtest  therefore  to  have  put  my  money  to  the 
bankers,  and  at  my  coming  I  should  have  received  back  mine  own  with  interest.  28  Take 
ye  away  therefore  the  talent  from  him,  and  give  it  unto  him  that  hath  the  ten  talents. 
29  dFor  unto  every  one  that  hath  shall  be  given,  and  he  shall  have  abundance:  but  from 
him  that  hath  not,  even  that  which  he  hath  shall  be  taken  away.  30  eAnd  cast  ye  out  the 
unprofitable  2servant  into  the  outer  darkness:  there  shall  be  the  weeping  and  gnashing1

Then  were  gathered  together 
the  chief  priests,  and  the  elders 
of  the  people,  unto  the  court 
of  the  high  priest,  who  was 
called  Caiaphas  ;  4  and  they 
took  counsel  together  that 
they  might  take  Jesus  by 
subtilty,  and  kill  him.  5  But 
they  said,  Not  during  the 
feast,  lest  a  tumult  arise 
among  the  people.  (4-  §  118) 

14  Then  one  of  the  twelve, 
who  was  called  Judas  Iscariot, 
went  unto  the  chief  priests, 
15  and  said,  What  are  ye 
willing  to  give  me,  and  I  will 
deliver  him  unto  you?  And 
they  weighed  unto  him  thirty

that  he  should  depart 
out  of  this  world  unto 
the  Father,  having

the  heart  of  Judas 
Iscariot,  Simon’s  son, 
to  betray  him,  3  Je¬

unto  them,  All  ye  shall 
be  1  offended  in  me 
this  night :  for  it  is 
written,  I  will  smite 
the  shepherd,  and  the 
sheep  of  the  flock  shall 
be  scattered  abroad. 
32  But  after  I  am

swered  and  said  unto 
him,  If  all  shall  be 
1  offended  in  thee,  I 
will  never  be  Offended. 
34  Jesus  said  unto 
him,  Verily  I  say  unto 
thee,  that  this  night, 
before  the  cock  crow, 
thou  shalt  deny  me 
thrice.  35  Peter  saith 
unto  him,  Even  if  I 
must  die  with  thee, 
yet  will  I  not  deny 
thee.  Likewise  also 
said  all  the  disciples.

you  into  Galilee.  29 
But  Peter  said  unto 
him,  Although  all 
shall  be  1  offended,  yet 
will  not  I.  30  And 
Jesus  saith  unto  him, 
Verily  I  say  unto  thee, 
that  thou  to-day,  even 
this  night,  before  the

But  he  spake  exceed¬

And  in  like  manner

that  thy  faith  fail  not: 
and  do  thou,  when

he  said,  I  tell  thee, 
Peter,  the  cock  shall 
not  crow  this  day, 
until  thou  shalt  thrice 
deny  that  thou  know-

would  have  known  my  Father  also :  from  henceforth  ye  know  him,  and  have  seen  him. 
8  Philip  saith  unto  him,  Lord,  shew  us  the  Father,  and  it  sufficeth  us.  9  Jesus  saith  unto 
him,  Have  I  been  so  long  time  with  you,  and  dost  thou  not  know  me,  Philip?  he  that 
hath  seen  me  hath  seen  the  Father ;  how  sayest  thou,  Shew  us  the  Father?  10  Believest 
thou  not  that  I  am  in  the  Father,  and  the  Father  in  me?  the  words  that  I  say  unto  you 
I  speak  not  from  myself :  but  the  Father  abiding  in  me  doeth  his  works.  11  Believe 
me  that  I  am  in  the  Father,  and  the  Father  in  me :  or  else  believe  me  for  the  very  works’ 
sake.  12  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you,  He  that  believeth  on  me,  the  works  that  I  do 
shall  he  do  also ;  and  greater  works  than  these  shall  he  do ;  because  I  go  unto  the  Father. 
13  And  whatsoever  ye  shall  ask  in  my  name,  that  will  I  do,  that  the  Father  may  be  glorified 
in  the  Son.  14  If  ye  shall  ask  2  me1  anything  in  my  name,  that  will  I  do.  15  If  ye  love  me, 
ye  will  keep  my  commandments.  16  And  I  will  3  pray  the  Father,  and  he  shall  give  you 
another  4 Comforter,  that  he  may  be  with  you  for  ever,  17  even  the  Spirit  of  truth:  whom 
the  world  cannot  receive  ;  for  it  beholdeth  him  not,  neither  knoweth  him  :  ye  know  him  ;  for 
he  abideth  with  you,  and  ^hall  be  in  you.  18  I  will  not  leave  you  5 desolate:  I  come  unto 
you.  19  Yet  a  little  while,  and  the  world  beholdeth  me  no  more ;  but  ye  behold  me  :  because 
I  live,  6  ye  shall  live  also.  20  In  that  day  ye  shall  know  that  I  am  in  my  Father,  and  ye  in 
me,  and  I  in  you.  21  He  that  hath  my  commandments,  and  keepeth  them,  he  it  is  that 
loveth  me  :  and  he  that  loveth  me  shall  be  loved  of  my  Father,  and  I  will  love  him,  and  will 
manifest  myself  unto  him.  22  Judas  (not  Iscariot)  saith  unto  him,  Lord,  what  is  come  to 
pass  that  thou  wilt  manifest  thyself  unto  us,  and  not  unto  the  world?  23  Jesus  answered 
and  said  unto  him,  If  a  man  love  me,  he  will  keep  my  word  :  and  my  Father  will  love  him, 
and  we  will  come  unto  him,  and  make  our  abode  with  him.  24  He  that  loveth  me  not 
keepeth  not  my  words :  and  the  word  which  ye  hear  is  not  mine,  but  the  Father’s  who 
sent  me. 

25  These  things  have  I  spoken  unto  you,  while  yet  abiding  with  you.  26  But  the  4  Com¬ 
forter,  even  the  Holy  Spirit,  whom  the  Father  will  send  in  my  name,  he  shall  teach  you  all 
things,  and  bring  to  your  remembrance  all  that  I  said  unto  you.  27  Peace  I  leave  with  you ; 
my  peace  1  give  unto  you  :  not  as  the  world  giveth,  give  I  unto  you.  Let  not  your  heart  be 
troubled,  neither  let  it  be  fearful.  28  Ye  heard  how  I  said  to  you,  I  go  away,  and  I  come 
unto  you.  If  ye  loved  me,  ye  would  have  rejoiced,  because  I  go  unto  the  Father :  for  the 
Father  is  greater  than  I.  29  And  now  I  have  told  you  before  it  come  to  pass,  that,  when  it 
is  come  to  pass,  ye  may  believe.  30  I  will  no  more  speak  much  with  you,  for  the  prince  of 
the  world  eometh  :  and  he  hath  nothing  in  me ;  31  but  that  the  world  may  know  that  I 
love  the  Father,  and  as  the  Father  gave  me  commandment,  even  so  I  do.  Arise,  let  us  go 
hence. 

15 : 1  I  am  the  true  vine,  and  my  Father  is  the  husbandman.  2  Every  branch  in  me 
that  beareth  not  fruit,  he  taketh  it  away  :  and  every  branch  that  beareth  fruit,  he  cleanseth 
it,  that  it  may  bear  more  fruit.  3  Already  ye  are  clean  because  of  the  word  which  I  have 
spoken  unto  you.  4  Abide  in  me,  and  I  in  you.  As  the  branch  cannot  bear  fruit  of  itself, 
except  it  abide  in  the  vine ;  so  neither  can  ye,  except  ye  abide  in  me.  5  I  am  the  vine,  ye 
are  the  branches  :  He  that  abideth  in  me,  and  I  in  him,  the  same  beareth  much  fruit :  for 
apart  from  me  ye  can  do  nothing.  6  If  a  man  abide  not  in  me,  he  is  cast  forth  as  a  branch, 
and  is  withered ;  and  they  gather  them,  and  cast  them  into  the  fire,  and  they  are  burned.

7  If  ye  abide  in  me,  and  my  words  abide  in  you,  ask  whatsoever  ye  will,  and  it  shall  be  done 
unto  you.  8  Herein  1  is  my  Father  glorified,  2  that  ye  bear  much  fruit ;  and  so  shall  ye  be

love.  10  If  ye  keep  my  commandments,  ye  shall  abide  in  my  love;  even  as  I  have  kept  my 
Father’s  commandments,  and  abide  in  his  love.  11  These  things  nave  I  spoken  unto  you, 
that  my  joy  may  be  in  you,  and  that  your  joy  may  be  fulfilled1.  12  This  is  my  command¬ 
ment,  that  ye  love  one  another,  even  as  I  have  loved  you.  13  Greater  love  hath  no  man  than 
this,  that  a  man  lay  down  his  life  for  his  friends.  14  Ye  are  my  friends,  if  ye  do  the  things 
which  I  command  you.  15  No  longer  do  I  call  you  3  servants ;  for  the  4  servant  knoweth  not 
what  his  lord  doeth :  but  I  have  called  you  friends ;  for  all  things  that  I  heard  from  my 
Father  I  have  made  known  unto  you.  16  Ye  did  not  choose  me,  but  I  chose  you,  and 
appointed  you,  that  ye  should  go  and  bear  fruit,  and  that  your  fruit  should  abide :  that 
whatsoever  ye  shall  ask  of  the  Father  in  my  name,  he  may  give  it  you.  17  These  things  I 
command  you,  that  ye  may  love  one  another.  18  If  the  world  hateth  you,  5  ye  know  that  it 
hath  hated  me  before  it  hated  you.  19  If  ye  were  of  the  world,  the  world  would  love  its  own  : 
but  because  ye  are  not  of  the  world,  but  I  chose  you  out  of  the  world,  therefore  the  world 
hateth  you.  20  Remember  the  word  that  I  said  unto  you,  aA  4  servant  is  not  greater  than 
his  lord.  If  they  persecuted  me,  they  will  also  persecute  you ;  if  they  kept  my  word,  they 
will  keep  yours  also.  21  bBut  all  these  things  will  they  do  unto  you  for  my  name’s  sake, 
because  they  know  not  him  that  sent  me.  22  If  I  had  not  come  and  spoken  unto  them,  they 
had  not  had  sin :  but  now  they  have  no  excuse  for  their  sin.  23  He  that  hateth  me  hateth 
my  Father  also.  24  If  I  had  not  done  among  them  the  works  which  none  other  did,  they 
had  not  had  sin  :  but  now  have  they  both  seen  and  hated  both  me  and  my  Father.  25  But 
this  cometh  to  pass,  that  the  word  may  be  fulfilled  that  is  written  in  their  law,  They  hated 
me  without  a  cause.  26  But  when  the  6  Comforter  is  come,  whom  I  will  send  unto  you  from 
the  Father,  even  the  Spirit  of  truth,  which  7proceedeth  from  the  Father,  he  shall  bear  wit¬

they  have  not  known  the  Father,  nor  me.  4  But  these  things  have  I  spoken  unto  you,  that

THE  PASSION  WEEK  — THURSDAY 


John  16. 

said  not  unto  you  from  the  beginning,  because  I  was  with  you.  5  But  now  I  go  unto  him 
that  sent  me;  and  none  of  you  asketh  me,  Whither  goest  thou?  6  But  because  I  have 
spoken  these  things  unto  you,  sorrow  hath  filled  your  heart.  7  Nevertheless  I  tell  you  the 
truth  ;  It  is  expedient  for  you  that  I  go  away  :  for  if  I  go  not  away,  the  1  Comforter  will  not 
come  unto  you  ;  but  if  I  go,  I  will  send  him  unto  you.  8  And  he,  when  he  is  come,  will  con¬ 
vict  the  world  in  respect  of  sin,  and  of  righteousness,  and  of  judgement :  9  of  sin,  because 
they  believe  not  on  me  ;  10  of  righteousness,  because  I  go  to  the  Father,  and  ye  behold  me 
no  more;  11  of  judgement,  because  the  prince  of  this  world  hath  been  judged.  12  I  have 
yet  many  things  to  say  unto  you,  but  ye  cannot  bear  them  now.  13  Howbeit  when  he,  the 
Spirit  of  truth,  is  come,  he  shall  guide  you  into  all  the  truth  :  for  he  shall  not  speak  from 
himself ;  but  what  things  soever  he  shall  hear,  these  shall  he  speak :  and  he  shall  declare 
unto  you  the  things  that  are  to  come.  14  He  shall  glorify  me  :  for  he  shall  take  of  mine,  and 
shall  declare  it  unto  you.  15  All  things  whatsoever  the  Father  hath  are  mine :  therefore 
said  I,  that  he  taketh  of  mine,  and  shall  declare  it  unto  you.  16  A  little  wrhile,  and  ye 
behold  me  no  more  ;  and  again  a  little  while,  and  ye  shall  see  me.  17  Some  of  his  disciples 
therefore  said  one  to  another,  What  is  this  that  he  saith  unto  us,  A  little  while,  and  ye 
behold  me  not ;  and  again  a  little  while,  and  ye  shall  see  me :  and,  Because  I  go  to  the  Father? 
18  They  said  therefore,  What  is  this  that  he  saith,  A  little  while?  We  know  not  what  he 
saith.  19  Jesus  perceived  that  they  were  desirous  to  ask  him,  and  he  said  unto  them,  Do  ye 
inquire  among  yourselves  concerning  this,  that  I  said,  A  little  while,  and  ye  behold  me  not, 
and  again  a  little  while,  and  ye  shall  see  me?  20  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you,  that  ye  shall 
weep  and  lament,  but  the  world  shall  rejoice  :  ye  shall  be  sorrowful,  but  your  sorrow  shah 
be  turned  into  joy.  21  A  woman  when  she  is  in  travail  hath  sorrow,  because  her  hour  is 
come  :  but  when  she  is  delivered  of  the  child,  she  remembereth  no  more  the  anguish,  for  the 
joy  that  a  man  is  born  into  the  world.  22  And  ye  therefore  now  have  sorrow  :  but  I  will  see 
you  again,  and  your  heart  shall  rejoice,  and  your  joy  no  one  taketh  away  from  you.  23  And 
in  that  day  ye  shall 2  ask  me  nothing  h  Verily,  veriiy,  I  say  unto  you,  if  ye  shall  ask  anything 
of  the  Father,  he  will  give  it  you  in  my  name.  24  Hitherto  have  ye  asked  nothing  in  my 
name:  ask,  and  ye  shall  receive,  that  your  joy  may  be  fulfilled2. 

25  These  things  have  I  spoken  unto  you  in  3 proverbs3:  the  hour  cometh,  when  I  shall 
no  more  speak  unto  you  in  3 proverbs3,  but  shall  tell  you  plainly  of  the  Father.  26  In  that 
day  ye  shall  ask  in  my  name  :  and  I  say  not  unto  you,  that  I  will  4  pray  the  Father  for  you ; 
27  for  the  Father  himself  loveth  you,  because  ye  have  loved  me,  and  have  believed  that  I  came 
forth  from  the  Father.  28  I  came  out  from  the  Father,  and  am  come  into  the  world  :  again, 
I  leave  the  world,  and  go  unto  the  Father.  29  His  disciples  say,  Lo,  now  speakest  thou 
plainly,  and  speakest  no  6 proverb4.  30  Now  know  we  that  thou  knowest  all  things,  and 
needest  not  that  any  man  should  ask  thee  :  by  this  we  believe  that  thou  earnest  forth  from 
God.  31  Jesus  answered  them,  Do  ye  now  believe?  32  Behold,  the  hour  cometh,  yea,  is 
come,  that  ye  shall  be  scattered,  every  man  to  his  own,  and  shall  leave  me  alone  :  and  yet  I 
am  not  alone,  because  the  Father  is  with  me.  33  These  things  have  I  spoken  unto  you,  that 
in  me  ye  may  have  peace.  In  the  world  ye  have  tribulation :  but  be  of  good  cheer ;  I  have 
overcome  the  world.

§  135.  THE  INTERCESSORY  PRAYER. 

John,  chap.  17. 

1  These  things  spake  Jesus ;  and  lifting  up  his  eyes  to  heaven,  he  said,  Father,  the  hour 
is  come  ;  glorify  thy  Son,  that  the  Son  may  glorify  thee  :  2  even  as  thou  gavest  him  authority 
over  all  flesh,  that  whatsoever  thou  hast  given  him,  to  them1  he  should  give  eternal  life. 
3  And  this  is  life  eternal,  that  they  should  know  thee  the  only  true  God,  and  him  whom  thou 
didst  send,  even  Jesus  Christ.  4  I  glorified  thee  on  the  earth,  having  accomplished  the  work 
which  thou  hast  given  me  to  do.  5  And  now,  O2  Father,  glorify  thou  me  with  thine  own 
self  with  the  glory  which  I  had  with  thee  before  the  world  was.  6  I  manifested  thy  name 
unto  the  men  whom  thou  gavest  me  out  of  the  world  :  thine  they  were,  and  thou  gavest  them 
to  me  ;  and  they  have  kept  thy  word.  7  Now  they  know  that  all  things  whatsoever  thou  hast 
given  me  are  from  thee  :  8  for  the  words  which  thou  gavest  me  I  have  given  unto  them  ;  and 
they  received  them ,  and  knew  of  a  truth  that  I  came  forth  from  thee,  and  they  believed  that 
thou  didst  send  me.  9  I  1  pray  for  them  :  I  1  pray  not  for  the  world,  but  for  those  whom  thou 
hast  given  me ;  for  they  are  thine :  10  and  all  things  that  are  mine  are  thine,  and  thine  are 
mine :  and  I  am  glorified  in  them.  11  And  I  am  no  more  in  the  world,  and  these  are  in  the 
world,  and  I  come  to  thee.  Holy  Father,  keep  them  in  thy  name  which  thou  hast  given  me, 
that  they  may  be  one,  even  as  we  are.  12  While  I  wTas  with  them,  I  kept  them  in  thy  name 
which  thou  hast  given  me  :  and  I  guarded  them,  and  not  one  of  them  perished,  but  the  son 
of  perdition ;  that  the  scripture  might  be  fulfilled.  13  But  now  I  come  to  thee ;  and  these 
things  I  speak  in  the  world,  that  they  may  have  my  joy  fulfilled3  in  themselves.  14  I  have 
given  them  thy  word ;  and  the  world  hated  them,  because  they  are  not  of  the  world,  even  as 
I  am  not  of  the  world.  15  I  4pray  not  that  thou  shouldest  take  them  2  from  the  world,  but 
that  thou  shouldest  keep  them  2  from  3  the  evil  one.  16  They  are  not  of  the  world,  even  as  I 
am  not  of  the  world.  17  4  Sanctify  them  in  the  truth  :  thy  word  is  truth.  18  As  thou  didst 
send  me  into  the  world,  even  so  sent  I  them  into  the  world.  19  And  for  their  sakes  1 4  sanctify 
myself,  that  they  themselves  also  may  be  sanctified  in  truth.  20  Neither  for  these  only  do  I 
4pray,  but  for  them  also  that  believe  on  me  through  their  word ;  21  that  they  may  all  be  one ; 
even  as  thou,  Father,  art  in  me,  and  I  in  thee,  that  they  also  may  be  in  us :  that  the  world 
may  believe  that  thou  didst  send  me.  22  And  the  glory  which  thou  hast  given  me  I  have 
given  unto  them ;  that  they  may  be  one,  even  as  we  are  one  ;  23  I  in  them,  and  thou  in  me, 
that  they  may  be  perfected  into  one ;  that  the  world  may  know  that  thou  didst  send  me,  and 
lovedst  them,  even  as  thou  lovedst  me.  24  Father,  5  that  which  thou  hast  given  me,  I  will 
that,  where  I  am,  they  also  may  be  with  me  ;4  that  they  may  behold  my  glory,  which  thou 
hast  given  me :  for  thou  lovedst  me  before  the  foundation  of  the  world.  25  O  righteous 
Father,  the  world  knewT  thee  not,  but  I  knew  thee ;  and  these  knew  that  thou  didst  send  me ; 
26  and  I  made  known  unto  them  thy  name,  and  will  make  it  known  ;  that  the  love  wherewith 
thou  lovedst  me  may  be  in  them,  and  I  in  them.

went  forward  a  little,

the  disciples  also  fol¬

when  he  was  at  the

them,  Pray  that  ye 
enter  not  into  tempta¬

parted  from  them 
about  a  stone’s  cast ;

unto  him  an  angel 
from  heaven, strength¬

became  as  it  were 
great  drops  of  blood 
falling  down  upon  the 
ground.  45  And  when

betrayed  him  gave 
them  a  sign,  saying, 
Whomsoever  I  shall 
kiss,  that  is  he :  take 
him.  49  Andstraight- 
way  he  came  to  Jesus, 
and  said,  Hail,  Rabbi ; 
and  hissed  him.  50 
And  Jesus  said  unto 
him,  Friend,  do  that 
for  which  thou  art 
come.  Then  they  came 
and  laid  hands  on 
Jesus,  and  took  him. 
51  And  behold,  one  of 
them  that  were  with 
Jesus  stretched  out 
his  hand,  and  drew 
his  sword,  and  smote 
the  2servant  of  the 
high  priest,  and  struck 
off  his  ear.  52  Then 
saith  Jesus  unto  him, 
Put  up  again  thy 
sword  into  its  place  : 
for  all  they  that  take 
the  sword  shall  perish 
with  the  sword.  53 
Or  thinkest  thou  that 
I  cannot  beseech  my 
Father,  and  he  shall 
even  now  send  me 
more  than  twelve  le¬ 
gions  of  angels?  54 
How  then  should  the 
scriptures  be  fulfilled, 
that  thus  it  must  be? 
55  In  that  hour  said 
Jesus  to  the  multi¬ 
tudes,  Are  ye  come 
out  as  against  a  rob¬ 
ber  with  swords  and 
staves  to  seize  me?  I 
sat  daily  in  the  tem-

the  elders.  44  Now 
he  that  betrayed  him 
had  given  them  a 
token,  saying,  Whom¬ 
soever  I  shall  kiss, 
that  is  he;  take  him, 
and  lead  him  away 
safely.  45  And  when 
he  was  come,  straight¬ 
way  he  came  to  him, 
and  saith,  Rabbi;  and 
1  kissed  him.  46  And 
they  laid  hands  on 
him,  and  took  him.  47 
But  a  certain  one  of 
them  that  stood  by 
drew  his  sword,  and 
smote  the  2  servant  of 
the  high  priest,  and 
struck  off  his  ear.  48 
And  Jesus  answered 
and  said  unto  them, 
Are  ye  come  out,  as 
against  a  robber,  with 
swords  and  staves  to 
seize  me?  49  I  was 
daily  with  you  in  the 
temple  teaching,  and 
ye  took  me  not:  but 
this  is  done  that  the 
scriptures  might  be 
fulfilled.  50  And  they 
all  left  him,  and  fled.

they  that  were  about 
him  saw  what  would 
follow,  they  said,  Lord, 
shall  we  smite  with 
the  sword?  50  And  a 
certain  one  of  them 
smote  the  2  servant  of 
the  high  priest,  and 
struck  off  his  right  ear. 
51  But  Jesus  answered 
and  said,  Suffer  ye1 
thus  far.  And  he 
touched  his  ear,  and 
healed  him.  52  And 
Jesus  said  unto  the 
chief  priests,  and  cap¬ 
tains  of  the  temple, 
and  elders,  which2 
were  come  against 
him,  Are  ye  come  out, 
as  against  a  rob¬ 
ber,  with  swords  and 
staves?  53  When  I

your  hands  against

also,  which3  betrayed 
him,  knew  the  place : 
for  J esus  ofttimes  re¬ 
sorted  thither  with 
his  disciples.  3  Judas 
then,  having  received 
the  3  band  of  soldiers, 
and  officers  from  the 
chief  priests  and 
the  Pharisees,  cometh 
thither  with  lanterns 
and  torches  and 
weapons.  4  Jesus 
therefore,  knowing  all 
the  things  that  were 
coming  upon  him, 
went  forth,  and  saith 
unto  them,  Whom 
seek  ye?  5  They  an¬

Nazareth.  Jesus  saith 
unto  them,  I  am  he. 
And  J  udas  also,  which3 
betrayed  him,  was 
standing  with  them. 
6  When  therefore  he 
said  unto  them,  I  am 
he,  they  went  back¬

Whom  seek  ye?  And 
they  said,  Jesus  of

that  I  am  he :  if  there¬

these  go  their  way:

15  And  Simon  Peter 
followed  Jesus,  and 
so  did  another  disci¬ 
ple.  Now  that  disci¬ 
ple  was  known  unto 
the  high  priest,  and 
entered  in  with  Jesus 
into  the  court  of  the 
high  priest;  16  but 
Peter  was  standing  at 
the  door  without.  So 
the  other  disciple, 
which1  was  known 
unto  the  high  priest, 
went  out  and  spake 
unto  her  that  kept 
the  door,  and  brought 
in  Peter.  17  The 
maid  therefore  that 
kept  the  door  saith 
unto  Peter,  Art  thou 
also  one  of  this  man’s 
disciples?  He  saith, 
I  am  not.  18  Now  the 
1  servants  and  the  offi¬ 
cers  were  standing 
there ,  having  made  2a 
fire  of  coals ;  for  it 
was  cold ;  and  they 
were  warming  them¬ 
selves  :  and  Peter  also 
was  with  them,  stand¬ 
ing  and  warming  him¬ 
self. 

19  The  high  priest 
therefore  asked  Jesus 
of  his  disciples,  and  of 
his  teaching.  20  Jesus 
answered  him,  I  have 
spoken  openly  to  the 
world;  I  ever  taught 
in  3  synagogues,  and 
in  the  temple,  where

57  And  they  that 
had  taken  Jesus  led 
him  away  to  the  house 
of  Caiaphas  the  high 
priest,  where  the 
scribes  and  the  elders 
were  gathered  to¬

followed  him  afar  off, 
unto  the  court  of  the 
high  priest,  and  en¬ 
tered  in,  and  sat  with 
the  officers,  to  see  the 
end.  59  Now  the  chief 
priests  and  the  whole 
council  sought  false 
witness  against  Jesus, 
that  they  might  put 
him  to  death  ;  60  and 
they  found  it  not, 
though  many  false 
witnesses  came.  But 


53  And  they  led 
Jesus  away  to  the  high

the  chief  priests  and 
the  elders  and  the 
scribes.  54  And  Peter 
had  followed  him  afar 
off,  even  within,  into 
the  court  of  the  high 
priest ;  and  he  was 
sitting  with  the  of¬ 
ficers,  and  warming 
himself  in  the  light  of 
the  fire.  55  Now  the 
chief  priests  and  the

witness  against  Jesus

one  of  the  officers

Jesus  1  with  his  hand, 
saying,  Answerest

him,  If  I  have  spoken

the  evil :  but  if  well, 
why  smitest  thou  me?

afterward  came  two, 
61  and  said,  This  man 
said,  I  am  able  to 
destroy  the  1  temple 
of  God,  and  to  build 
it  in  three  days.  62 
And  the  high  priest 
stood  up,  and  said 
unto  him,  Answerest 
thou  nothing?  what  is 
it  which  these  witness 
against  thee?  63  But 
Jesus  held  his  peace. 
And  the  high  priest 
said  unto  him,  I  ad¬ 
jure  thee  by  the  living 
God,  that  thou  tell  us 
■whether  thou  be 1  the 
Christ,  the  Son  of 
God.  64  Jesus  saith 
unto  him,  Thou  hast 
said :  nevertheless  I 
say  unto  you,  Hence¬ 
forth  ye  shall  see  the 
Son  of  man  sitting  at 
the  right  hand  of 
power2,  and  coming 
on  the  clouds  of

high  priest  rent  his 
garments,  saying,  He 
hath  spoken  blas¬ 
phemy  :  what  further 
need  have  we  of  wit¬ 
nesses?  behold,  now 
ye  have  heard  the 
blasphemy :  66  what 
think  ye  ?  They  an¬

is  2  worthy  of  death.

and  their  witness 
agreed  not  together. 
57  And  there  stood  up 
certain,  and  bare  false 
witness  against  him, 
saying,  58  We  heard 
him  say,  I  will  destroy 
this  1  temple  that  is 
made  with  hands,  and 
in  three  days  I  will 
build  another  made 
without  hands.  59 
And  not  even  so  did 
their  witness  agree  to¬ 
gether.  60  And  the 
high  priest  stood  up 
in  the  midst,  and  asked 
Jesus,  saying,  Answer¬ 
est  thou  nothing  ? 
what  is  it  which  these 
witness  against  thee  ? 

61  But  he  held  his 
peace,  and  answered 
nothing.  Again  the 
high  priest  asked  him, 
and  saith  unto  him, 
Art  thou  the  Christ, 
the  Son  of  the  Blessed  ? 

62  And  Jesus  said,  I 
am :  and  ye  shall  see 
the  Son  of  man  sitting 
at  the  right  hand  of 
power2,  and  coming 
with  the  clouds  of

high  priest  rent  his 
clothes,  and  saith, 
What  further  need 
have  we  of  wit¬ 
nesses  ?  64  Ye  have 
heard  the  blasphemy: 
what  think  ye  ?  And 
they  all  condemned 
him  to  be  2  worthy  of 
death.

smote  him  1  with  the 
palms  of  their  hands, 
68  saying,  Prophesy 
unto  us,  thou  Christ : 
who  is  he  that  struck 
thee  ? 


69  Now  Peter  was 
sitting  without  in  the 
court:  and  a  maid 
came  unto  him,  say¬

with  Jesus  the  Gali- 
laean.  70  But  he  de¬ 
nied  before  them  all, 
saying,  I  know  not 
what  thou  sayest.  71 
And  when  he  was 
gone  out  into  the 
porch,  another  maid 
saw  him,  and  saith 
unto  them  that  were

Peter,  Of  a  truth  thou

to  swear,  I  know  not

one  of  the  maids  of

warming  himself,  she 
looked  upon  him,  and 
saith,  Thou  also  wast

he  denied,  saying,  3 1 
neither  know,  nor  un¬ 
derstand  what  thou 
sayest :  and  he  went 
out  into  the  4 porch;

him,  and  began  again 
to  say  to  them  that 
stood  by,  This  is  one

again  denied  it.  And 
after  a  little  while

them;  for  thou  art  a

to  swear,  I  know  not

ye  speak.  72  And

condemned,  repented 
himself,  and  brought 
back  the  thirty  pieces 
of  silver  to  the  chief 
priests  and  elders,  4 
saying,  I  have  sinned 
in  that  I  betrayed 

1  innocent  blood.  But 
they  said,  What  is 
that  to  us?  see  thou 
to  it.  5  And  he  cast 
down  the  pieces  of 
silver  into  the  sanctu¬ 
ary,  and  departed ; 
and  he  went  away 
and  hanged  himself. 

6  And  the  chief  priests 
took  the  pieces  of  sil¬ 
ver,  and  said,  It  is  not 
lawful  to  put  them 
into  the  2  treasury 
since  it  is  the  price  of 
blood.  7  And  they 
took  counsel,  and 
bought  with  them  the 
potter’s  field,  to  bury 
strangers  in.  8  Where¬ 
fore  that  field  was 
called,  The  field  of 
blood,  unto  this  day. 

9  Then  was  fulfilled 
that  which  was  spoken

prophet,  saying,  And 
‘they  took  the  thirty 
pieces  of  silver,  the 
price  of  him  that  was 
priced, 5  whom  certain 
of  the  children  of 
Israel  did  price ;  10 
and  6  they  gave  them 
for  the  potter’s  field,

up,  and  brought  him

they  began  to  accuse 
him,  saying,  We  found 
this  man  perverting 
our  nation,  and  forbid¬ 
ding  to  give  tribute  to 
Caesar,  and  saying  that 
he  himself  is  Christ  a

28  They  lead  Jesus 
therefore  from  Caia-

and  it  was  early ;  and 
they  themselves  en¬ 
tered  not  into  the 
2  palace J,  that  they 
might  not  be  defiled, 
but  might  eat  the 
passover.  29  Pilate 
therefore  went  out 
unto  them,  and  saith, 
What  accusation 
bring  ye  against  this 
man  ?  30  They  an¬ 

swered  and  said  unto 
him,  If  this  man  were 
not  an  evildoer,  we 
should  not  have  deliv¬ 
ered  him  up  unto  thee. 

31  Pilate  therefore 
said  unto  them,  Take 
him  yourselves,  and 
judge  him  according 
to  your  law.  The  Jews 
said  unto  him,  It  is 
not  lawful  for  us  to 
put  any  man  to  death : 

32  that  the  word  of 
Jesus  might  be  ful¬ 
filled,  which  he  spake,

manner  of  death  he 
should  die.

ing,  He  stirreth  up

throughout  all  J udaea,

Galilee  even  unto  this 
place.  6  But  when 
Pilate  heard  it,  he 
asked  whether  the

it  thee  concerning  me? 
35  Pilate  answered, 
Am  I  a  Jew?  Thine 
own  nation  and  the 
chief  priests  delivered 
thee  unto  me  :  what 
hast  thou  done  ?  36 

Jesus  answered,  My 
kingdom  is  not  of  this 
world  :  if  my  kingdom 
were  of  this  world, 
then  would  my  1  serv¬ 
ants  fight,  that  I 
should  not  be  deliv¬ 
ered  to  the  Jews  :  but 
now  is  my  kingdom 
not  from  hence.  37 
Pilate  therefore  said 
,unto  him,  Art  thou  a 
king  then  ?  Jesus 
answered  2  Thou  say- 
est  that  I  am  a  king. 
To  this  end  have  I 
been  born,  and  to  this 
end  am  I  come  into 
the  world,  that  I 
should  bear  witness 
unto  the  truth.  Every 
one  that  is  of  the 
truth  heareth  my 
voice.  38  Pilate  saith 
unto  him,  What  is 
truth? 

And  when  he  had 
said  this,  he  went  out 
again  unto  the  Jews, 
and  saith  unto  them,  I 
find  no  crime  in  him.

7  And  when  he  knew 
that  he  was  of  Herod’s 
jurisdiction,  he  sent 
him  unto  Herod,  who 
himself  also  was  at  J e- 
rusalem  in  these  days. 

8  Now  when  Herod 
saw  Jesus,  he  was  ex¬ 
ceeding  glad :  for  he 
was  of  a  long  time 
desirous  to  see  him, 
because  he  had  heard 
concerning  him ;  and 
he  hoped  to  see  some 

I  miracle  done  by  him. 
9  And  he  questioned 
him  in  many  words ; 
but  he  answered  him 
nothing.  10  And  the 
chief  priests  and  the 
scribes  stood,  vehe¬ 
mently  accusing  him.

his  soldiers  set  him  at 
nought,  and  mocked 
him,  and  arraying  him 
in  gorgeous  apparel 
sent  him  back  to 
Pilate.  12  And  Herod 
and  Pilate  became 
friends  with  each 
other  that  very  day: 
for  before  they  were 
at  enmity  between 
themselves.

together  the  chief

and  the  people,  14 
and  said  unto  them, 
Ye  brought  unto  me

perverteth  the  people : 
and  behold,  I,  having 
examined  him  before 
you,  found  no  fault  in

THE  TRIAL  BEFORE  PILATE 


§139 


Matt.  27. 


15  Now  at  Hhe  feast 
the  governor  was  wont 
to  release  unto  the 
multitude  one  prison¬ 
er,  whom  they  would. 
16  And  they  had  then 
a  notable  prisoner, 
called  Barabbas.  17 
When  therefore  they 
were  gathered  to¬ 
gether,  Pilate  said 
unto  them,  Whom  will 
ye  that  I  release  unto 
you  ?  Barabbas,  or 
Jesus  which1  is  called 
Christ  ?  18  For  he 

knew  that  for  envy 
they  had  delivered 
him  up.  19  And  while 
he  was  sitting  on  the 
judgement-seat,  his 
wife  sent  unto  him, 
saying,  Have  thou 
nothing  to  do  with 
that  righteous  man: 
for  I  have  suffered 
many  things  this  day 
in  a  dream  because  of 
him.  20  Now  the 
chief  priests  and  the 
elders  persuaded  the 
multitudes  that  they 
should  ask  for  Barab¬ 
bas,  and  destroy  J esus. 


Mask  15. 


6  Now  at  Hhe  feast 
he  used  to  release  un¬ 
to  them  one  prisoner, 
whom  they  asked  of 
him.  7  And  there 
was  one  called  Barab¬ 
bas,  lying  bound  with 
them  that  had  made 
insurrection,  men  who 
in  the  insurrection 
had  committed  mur¬ 
der.  8  And  the  multi¬ 
tude  went  up  and  be¬ 
gan  to  ask  him  to  do 
as  he  was  wont  to  do 
unto  them.  9  And 
Pilate  answered  them, 
saying,  Will  ye  that  I 
release  unto  you  the 
King  of  the  Jews?  10 
For  he  perceived  that 
for  envy  the  chief 
priests  had  delivered 
him  up.  11  But  the 
chief  priests  stirred 
up  the  multitude, 
that  he  should  rather 
release  Barabbas  un¬ 
to  them.  12  And  Pi¬ 
late  again  answered 
and  said  unto  them, 
What  then  shall 
I  do  unto  him  whom 
ye  call  the  King  of  the 


Luke  23. 

this  man  touching 
those  things  whereof 
ye  accuse  him :  15 

no,  nor  yet  Herod : 
for  he  sent  him  back 
unto  us ;  and  behold, 
nothing  worthy  of 
death  hath  been  done 
by  him.  16  I  will 
therefore  chastise 
him,  and  release  2  him. 

[Paragraph  continued  below.] 


18  But  they  cried  out 
all  together,  saying, 
Away  with  this  man, 
and  release  unto  us 
Barabbas :  19  one  who 
for  a  certain  insurrec¬ 
tion  made  in  the  city, 
and  for  murder,  was 
cast  into  prison.  20 
And  Pilate  spake  unto 
them  again,  desiring 


John  18. 


39  But  ye  have  a  cus¬ 
tom,  that  I  should  re¬ 
lease  unto  you  one  at 
the  passover:  will  ye 
therefore  that  I  release 
unto  you  the  King  of 
the  Jews  ?  40  They 

cried  out  therefore 
again,  saying,  Not  this 
man,  but  Barabbas. 
Now  Barabbas  was  a 
robber.

21  But  the  governor 
answered  and  said 
unto  them,  Whether1 
of  the  twain2  will  ye 
that  I  release  unto 
you?  And  they  said, 
Barabbas.  22  Pilate 
saith  unto  them,  What 
then  shall  I  do  unto 
Jesus  which3  is  called 
Christ  ?  They  all  say, 
Let  him  be  crucified. 
23  And  he  said,  Why, 
what  evil  hath  he 
done  ?  But  they  cried 
out  exceedingly,  say¬ 
ing,  Let  him  be  cruci¬ 
fied  24  So  when 
Pilate  saw  that  he 
prevailed  nothing,  but 
rather  that  a  tumult 
was  arising,  he  took 
water,  and  washed  his 
hands  before  the  mul¬ 
titude,  saying,  I  am 
innocent 1of the  blood 
of  this  righteous  man : 
see  ye  to  it.  25  And 
all  the  people  answer¬ 
ed  and  said,  His  blood 
be  on  us,  and  on  our 
children.  26  Then  re¬ 
leased  he  unto  them 
Barabbas:  but  Jesus 
he  scourged  and  deliv¬ 
ered  to  be  crucified. 

27  Then  the  soldiers 
of  the  governor  took 
Jesus  into  the  2palace4, 
and  gathered  unto 
him  the  whole  3  band. 
28  And  they  4  stripped

cried  out  again,  Cruci¬

said  unto  them,  Why,

But  they  cried  out 
exceedingly,  Crucify 
him.  15  And  Pilate, 
wishing  to  content  the 
multitude,  released 
unto  them  Barabbas, 
and  delivered  Jesus, 
when  he  had  scourged 
him,  to  be  crucified. 


16  And  the  soldiers 
led  him  away  within 
the  court,  which  is 
the  5Prsetorium;  and 
they  call  together  the 
whole 3  band.  17  And 
they  clothe  him  with 
purple,  and  plaiting6 
a  crown  of  thorns,

to  release  Jesus;  21 
but  they  shouted,  say¬ 
ing,  Crucify,  crucify 
him.  22  And  he  said 
unto  them  the  third 
time,  Why,  what  evil 
hath  this  man  done? 
I  have  found  no  cause 
of  death  in  him  :  I 
will  therefore  chastise 
him  and  release  him. 
23  But  they  were  in¬ 
stant7  with  loud 
voices,  asking  that  he 
might  be  crucified. 
And  their  voices  pre¬ 
vailed.  24  And  Pilate 
gave  sentence  that 
what  they  asked  for 
should  be  done.  25 
And  he  released  him 
that  for  insurrection 
and  murder  had  been 
cast  into  prison,  whom 
they  asked  for ;  but 
Jesus  he  delivered  up 
to  their  will.

unto  them,  Behold,  I

I  find  no  crime  in

ing  the  crown  of

saith  unto  them,  Be¬

When  therefore  the

cried  outlaying,  Cru¬

them,  Take  him  your¬

him :  for  I  find  no

Jews  answered  him, 
We  have  a  law,  and 
by  that  law  he  ought 
to  die,  because  he 
made  himself  the  Son 
of  God.  8  When  Pi¬

the  1  palace 1  again, 
and  saith  unto  Jesus, 
Whence  art  thou?  But 
Jesus  gave  him  no  an¬ 
swer.  10  Pilate  there¬ 
fore  saith  unto  him, 
Speakest  thou  not 
unto  me?  knowest 
thou  not  that  I  have 
2  power  to  release  thee, 
and  have  2  power  to 
crucify  thee?  11  Jesus 
answered  him,  Thou 
wouldest  have  no 
2  power  against  me, 
except  it  were  given 
thee  from  above : 
therefore  he  that  de¬ 
livered  me  unto  thee 
hath  greater  sin.  12 
Upon  this  Pilate 
sought  to  release  him : 
but  the  Jews  cried 
out,  saying,  If  thou 
release  this  man,  thou 
art  not  Caesar’s  friend: 
everyone  that  maketh 
himself  a  king  3speak- 
eth  against  Caesar.  13 
When  Pilate  therefore 
heard  these  words,  he 
brought  Jesus  out, 
and  sat  down  on  the 
judgement-seat  at  a 
place  called  The  Pave¬ 
ment,  but  in  Hebrew, 
Gabbatha.  14  Nowit 
was  the  Preparation  of 
the  passover:  it  was 
about  the  sixth  hour. 
And  he  saith  unto  the 
Jews,  Behold,  your 
King!  15  They  there¬ 
fore  cried  out,  Away 
with  him ,  away  with 
him,  crucify  him.

And  they  offered  him 
wine  mingled  with 
myrrh :  but  he  re¬

they  crucify  him,  and 
part  his  garments

lots  upon  them,  what 
each  should  take.  25

Matt.  27 : 62-66. 

62  Now  on  the  morrow,  which  is  the  day  after  the  Preparation,  the  chief  priests  and  the 
Pharisees  were  gathered  together  unto  Pilate,  63  saying,  Sir,  we  remember  that  that 
deceiver  said,  while  he  was  yet  alive,  After  three  days  I  rise  again.  64  Command  therefore 
that  the  sepulchre  be  made  sure  until  the  third  day,  lest  haply  his  disciples  come  and  steal 
him  away,  and  say  unto  the  people,  He  is  risen  from  the  dead :  and  the  last  error  will  be 
worse  than  the  first.  65  Pilate  said  unto  them,  4  Ye  have  a  guard :  go  your  way3,  5make  it 
as  sure  as  ye  can.  66  So  they  went,  and  made  the  sepulchre  sure,  sealing  the  stone,  the 
guard  being  with  them.

§143.  THE  RESURRECTION  MORNING. 


Matt.  28 : 1-10. 

1  Now  late  on  the 
sabbath  day,  as  it  be¬ 
gan  to  dawn  toward 
the  first  day  of  the 
week,  came  Mary 
Magdalene  and  the 
other  Mary  to  see  the 
sepulchre.  2  And  be¬ 
hold,  there  was  a  great 
earthquake ;  for  an 
angel  of  the  Lord  de¬ 
scended  from  heaven, 
and  came  and  rolled 
away  the  stone,  and 
sat  upon  it.  3  His 
appearance  was  as 
lightning,  and  his  rai¬ 
ment  white  as  snow: 
4  and  for  fear  of 
him  the  watchers  did 
quake,  and  became  as 
dead  men.  5  And  the 
angel  answered  and 
said  unto  the  women, 
Fear  not  ye:  for  I 
know  that  ye  seek 
Jesus,  which1  hath 
been  crucified.  6  He 
is  not  here;  for  he  is 
risen,  even  as  he  said. 
Come,  see  the  place 
1  where  the  Lord  lay. 


Makk  16 : 1-8,  9-11. 

1  And  when  the 
sabbath  was  past, 
Mary  Magdalene,  and 
Mary  the  mother  of 
James,  and  Salome, 
bought  spices,  that 
they  might  come  and 
anoint  him.  2  And 
very  early  on  the  first 
day  of  the  week,  they 
come  to  the  tomb 
when  the  sun  was 
risen.  3  And  they 
were  saying  among 
themselves,  Who  shall 
roll  us  away  the  stone 
from  the  door  of  the 
tomb  ?  4  and  looking 
up,  they  see  that  the 
stone  is  rolled  back : 
for  it  was  exceeding 
great.  5  And  enter¬ 
ing  into  the  tomb, 
they  saw  a  young  man 
sitting  on  the  right 
side,  arrayed  in  a 
white  robe ;  and  they 
were  amazed.  6  And 
he  saith  unto  them,  Be 
not  amazed :  ye  seek 
Jesus,  the  Nazarene, 
which1  hath  been  cru- 


Luke  23 :  566 — 24 : 12. 

566  And  on  the 
sabbath  they  rested 
according  to  the  com¬ 
mandment.  24:1  But 
on  the  first  day  of  the 
week,  at  early  dawn, 
they  came  unto  the 
tomb,  bringing  the 
spices  which  they  had 
prepared.  2  And  they 
found  the  stone  rolled 
away  from  the  tomb. 


3  And  they  entered  in, 
and  found  not  thebody 
2  of  the  Lord  Jesus.  4 
And  it  came  to  pass, 
while  they  were  per¬ 
plexed  thereabout,  be¬ 
hold,  two  men  stood 
by  them  in  dazzling 
apparel :  5  and  as 

they  were  affrighted,

into  the  hands  of  sin¬

they  remembered  his 
words,  9  and  returned 
3  from  the  tomb,  and 
told  all  these  things  to 
the  eleven,  and  to  all 
the  rest.  10  Now  they 
were  Mary  Magdalene, 
and  J oanna,  and  Mary 
the  mother  of  James  : 
and  the  other  women 
with  them  told  these 
things  unto  the  apos¬ 
tles.  11  And  these 
words  appeared  in 
their  sight  as  idle 
talk  ;  and  they  disbe¬ 
lieved  them.  12  4  But 
Peter  arose,  and  ran 
unto  the  tomb ;  and 
stooping  and  looking 
in,  he  seeth  the  linen 
cloths  by  themselves ; 
and  he  5  departed  to 
his  home,  wondering 
at  that  which  was

12  And  after  these  things  he 
was  manifested  in  another  form 
unto  two  of  them,  as  they  walked, 
on  their  way  into  the  country. 
13  And  they  went  away  and  told 
it  unto  the  rest  :  neither  believed 
they  them. 


Luke  24 : 13-35. 

13  And  behold,  two  of  them 
were  going  that  very  day  to  a 
village  named  Emmaus,  which 
was  threescore  furlongs  from 
J erusalem.  14  And  they  com¬ 
muned  with  each  other  of  all 
these  things  which  had  hap¬ 
pened.  15  And  it  came  to 
pass,  while  they  communed 
and  questioned  together,  that 
Jesus  himself  drew  near,  and 
wTent  with  them.  16  But  their 
eyes  were  holden  that  they 
should  not  know  him.  17  And 
he  said  unto  them,  1What 
communications  are  these 
that  ye  have  one  with  another, 
as  ye  walk  ?  And  they  stood 
still,  looking  sad.  18  And  one 
of  them,  named  Cleopas,  an¬ 
swering  said  unto  him,  2  Dost 
thou  alone  sojourn  in  Jerusa¬ 
lem  and  not  know  the  things 
which  are  come  to  pass  there 
in  these  days  ?  19  And  he 

said  unto  them,  What  things? 
And  they  said  unto  him,  The 
things  concerning  Jesus  of 
Nazareth1,  which2  was  a 
prophet  mighty  in  deed  and 
word  before  God  and  all  the 
people  :  20  and  how  the  chief

to  death,  and  crucified  him.

Israel.  Yea  and  beside3  all

they  found  not  his  body,  they 
came,  saying,  that  they  had 
also  seen  a  vision  of  angels, 
which 1  said  that  he  was  alive. 
24  And  certain  of  them  that 
were  with  us  went  to  the  tomb, 
and  found  it  even  so  as  the 
women  had  said :  but  him 
they  saw  not.  25  And  he  said 
unto  them,  O  foolish  men, 
and  slow  of  heart  to  believe 
1  in  all  that  the  prophets  have 
spoken !  26  Behoved  it  not 

the  Christ  to  suffer  the^e 
things,  and  to  enter  into  his 
glory?  27  And  beginning 
from  Moses  and  from  all  the 
prophets,  he  interpreted  to 
them  in  all  the  scriptures  the 
things  concerning  himself.  28 
And  they  drew  nigh  unto  the 
village,  whither  they  were  go¬ 
ing:  and  he  made  as  though 
he  would  go  further.  29  And 
they  constrained  him,  saying, 
Abide  with  us :  for  it  is  toward 
evening,  and  the  day  is  now 
far  spent.  And  he  went  in  to 
abide  with  them.  30  And  it 
came  to  pass,  when  he  had  sat 
down  with  them  to  meat,  he 
took  the  2  bread,  and  blessed 
it,  and  brake,  and  gave2  to 
them.  31  And  their  eyes  were 
opened,  and  they  knew  him; 
and  he  vanished  out  of  their 
sight.  32  And  they  said  one 
to  another,  Was  not  our  heart 
burning  within  us,  while  he 
spake  to  us  in  the  way,  while 
he  opened  to  us  the  scrip¬

14  And  afterward  he 
was  manifested  unto  the

sat  at  meat ;  and  he  up¬ 
braided  them  with  their 
unbelief  and  hardness  of 
heart,  because  they  be¬

had  seen  him  after  he

37  But  they  were  ter¬

and  supposed  that 
they  beheld  a  spirit.

them,  Why  are  ye

arise  in  your  heart  ? 

39  See  my  hands  and

not  flesh  and  bones,

ing.  40  2  And  when 
he  had  said  this,  he 
shewed  them  his 
hands  and  his  feet. 
41  And  while  they  still 
disbelieved  for  joy, 
and  wondered,  he  said 


19  When  therefore 
it  was  evening,  on  that 
day,  the  first  day  of 
the  week,  and  when 
the  doors  were  shut 
where  the  disciples 
were,  for  fear  of  the 
Jews,  Jesus  came  and 
stood  in  the  midst,  and 
saithunto  them, Peace 
be  unto  you.  20  And 
when  he  had  said  this, 
he  shewed  unto  them 
his  handsand  his  side. 
The  disciples  there¬ 
fore  were  glad,  when 
they  saw  the  Lord.  21 
Jesus  therefore  said 
to  them  again,  Peace 
be  unto  you :  as  the 
Father  has  sent  me, 
even  so  send  I  you.

26  And  after  eight  days  again  his  disciples  were  within,  and  Thomas  with  them.  Jesus 
cometh,  the  doors  being  shut,  and  stood  in  the  midst,  and  said,  Peace  be  unto  you.  27  Then 
saith  he  to  Thomas,  Reach  hither  thy  finger,  and  see  my  hands ;  and  reach  hither  thy  hand, 
and  put  it  into  my  side :  and  be  not  faithless,  but  believing.  28  Thomas  answered  and  said 
unto  him,  My  Lord  and  my  God.  29  Jesus  saith  unto  him,  Because  thou  hast  seen  me,  3thou 
hast  believed :  blessed  are  they  that  have  not  seen,  and  yet  have  believed.  (-f-§151) 

§  148.  THE  APPEARANCE  TO  SEVEN  DISCIPLES  BY  THE  SEA  OF  GALILEE. 

John  21 : 1-24. 

1  After  these  things  Jesus  manifested  himself  again  to  the  disciples  at  the  sea  of  Tiberias ; 
and  he  manifested  himself  on  this  wise.  2  There  were  together  Simon  Peter,  and  Thomas 
called  2Didymus,  and  Nathanael  of  Cana  in  Galilee,  and  the  sons  of  Zebedee,  and  two  other 
of  his  disciples.  3  Simon  Peter  saith  unto  them,  I  go  a  fishing.  They  say  unto  him,  We 
also  come  with  thee.  They  went  forth,  and  entered  into  the  boat ;  and  that  night  they  took 
nothing.  4  But  when  day  was  now  breaking,  Jesus  stood  on  the  beach :  howbeit2  the 
disciples  knew  not  that  it  was  Jesus.  5  Jesus  therefore  saith  unto  them,  Children,  have  ye 
aught  to  eat  ?  They  answered  him,  No.  6  And  he  said  unto  them,  Cast  the  net  on  the  right 
side  of  the  boat,  and  ye  shall  find.  They  cast  therefore,  and  now  they  were  not  able  to  draw 
it  for  the  multitude  of  fishes.  7  That  disciple  therefore  whom  Jesus  loved  saith  unto  Peter,

unto  them,  Have  ye

42  And  they  gave  him

APPEARANCE  TO  THE  ELEVEN  ON  A  MOUNTAIN 


§149 


John  21. 

It  is  the  Lord.  So  when  Simon  Peter  heard  that  it  was  the  Lord,  he  girt  his  coat  about 
him  (for  he  was  naked),  and  cast  himself  into  the  sea.  8  But  the  other  disciples  came  in  the 
little  boat  (for  they  were  not  far  from  the  land,  but  about  two  hundred  cubits  off),  dragging 
the  net  full  of  fishes.  9  So  when  they  got  out  upon  the  land,  they  see  7a  fire  of  coals  there, 
and  2fish  laid  thereon,  and  3bread.  10  Jesus  saith  unto  them,  Bring  of  the  fish  which  ye 
have  now  taken.  11  Simon  Peter  therefore  went  4 up,  and  drew  the  net  to  land,  full  of  great 
fishes,  a  hundred  and  fifty  and  three :  and  for  all  there  were  so  many,  the  net  was  not  rent. 
12  Jesus  saith  unto  them,  Come  and  break  your  fast.  And  none  of  the  disciples  durst 
inquire  of  him,  Who  art  thou?  knowing  that  it  was  the  Lord.  13  Jesus  cometh,  and  taketh 
the  3bread,  and  giveth  them,  and  the  fish  likewise.  14  This  is  now  the  third  time  that  Jesus 
was  manifested  to  the  disciples,  after  that  he  was  risen  from  the  dead. 

15  So  when  they  had  broken  their  fast,  Jesus  saith  to  Simon  Peter,  Simon,  son  of  5  John, 
€lovest  thou  me  more  than  these?  He  saith  unto  him,  Yea,  Lord ;  thou  knowest  that  I  7 love 
thee.  He  saith  unto  him,  Feed  my  lambs.  16  He  saith  to  him  again  a  second  time,  Simon, 
son  of  5 John,  7lovest  thou  me?  He  saith  unto  him,  Yea,  Lord;  thou  knowest  that  I  7love 
thee.  He  saith  unto  him,  Tend  my  sheep.  17  He  saith  unto  him  the  third  time,  Simon,  son 
of  5 John,  7lovest  thou  me?  Peter  was  grieved  because  he  said  unto  him  the  third  time, 
7Lovest  thou  me?  And  he  said  unto  him,  Lord,  thou  knowest  all  things;  thou  8knowest 
that  I  7love  thee.  Jesus  saith  unto  him,  Feed  my  sheep.  18  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  thee, 
When  thou  wast  young,  thou  girdedst  thyself,  and  walkedst  whither  thou  wouldest :  but 
when  thou  shalt  be  old,  thou  shalt  stretch  forth  thy  hands,  and  another  shall  gird  thee,  and 
carry  thee  wThither  thou  wouldest  not.  19  Now  this  he  spake,  signifying  by  what  manner  of 
death  he  should  glorify  Cod.  And  when  he  had  spoken  this,  he  saith  unto  him,  Follow  me. 
20  Peter,  turning  about,  seeth  the  disciple  whom  Jesus  loved  following;  which1  also  leaned 
back  on  his  breast  at  the  supper,  and  said,  Lord,  who  is  he  that  betrayeth  thee  ?  21  Peter 

therefore  seeing  him  saith  to  Jesus,  Lord, 9 and  wThat  shall  this  man  do?  22  Jesus  saith  unto 
him,  If  I  will  that  he  tarry  till  I  come,  what  is  that  to  thee  ?  follow  thou  me.  23  This  saying 
therefore  went  forth  among  the  brethren,  that  that  disciple  should  not  die :  yet  Jesus  said 
not  unto  him,  that  he  should  not  die ;  but,  If  I  will  that  he  tarry  till  I  come,  what  is  that  to 
thee  ? 

24  This  is  the  disciple  which2  beareth  witness  of  these  things,  and  wrote  these  things: 
and  we  know  that  his  witness  is  true,  (-f-  §151)

APPENDICES 


APPENDIX  I. 


PRINCIPLES  AND  METHODS  IN  ACCORDANCE  WITH  WHICH  THE 

HARMONY  IS  CONSTRUCTED. 

The  fundamental  principle  which  we  have  endeavored  to  follow  through¬ 
out  our  work — viz.,  to  exhibit  the  witness  of  the  several  gospels  with  the 
utmost  fidelity  consistent  with  the  parallelism  essential  to  the  idea  of  a 
harmony — has  already  been  stated  in  the  Preface.  It  lies  in  the  very  nature 
of  a  harmony  of  the  gospels,  that  it  should  exhibit  their  parallelism  passage 
by  passage.  We  have  endeavored,  at  the  same  time,  to  preserve,  as  far  as  is 
consistent  with  the  exhibiting  of  this  parallelism,  the  structure  and  peculiarities 
of  the  several  gospels. 

I.  THE  PART  DIVISIONS. 

The  whole  material  of  the  four  gospels  is  divided  into  nine  main  Parts. 
These  nine  Parts  are  intended  to  correspond  to  the  natural  periods  of  the  life 
and  ministry  of  Jesus,  as  these  are  indicated  in  the  gospels  themselves.  The 
difference  of  plan  between  the  several  gospels,  especially  between  the  fourth 
and  the  synoptic  gospels,  makes  it  impossible  that  each  main  division  line  of 
the  Harmony  should  coincide  with  a  main  dividing  line  running  through  all 
four  of  the  gospels  alike.  It  is  hoped,  however,  that  it  will  be  recognized 
that  the  plan  here  adopted  is  built  solely  upon  the  gospels,  and  exhibits  the 
natural  periods  of  the  history,  as  these  appear  from  a  comparison  of  the  four 
accounts. 

We  have  deemed  it  of  the  first  importance  to  fix  attention  upon  these 
natural  divisions  of  the  history.  The  table  of  Principal  Divisions,  or  Parts,  is 
therefore  spread  upon  a  separate  page,  preceding  the  Analytical  Outline.  The 
Analytical  Outline  also  exhibits,  in  a  form  convenient  for  memorizing  or 
reference,  a  more  complete  articulation  of  the  whole  history.  These  tables  are, 
therefore,  not  mere  tables  of  contents  for  the  Harmony  that  follows.  They 
furnish  a  conspectus  of  the  history,  and  are  intended  to  aid  the  mind  in  grasp¬ 
ing  the  relation  of  its  several  parts  to  one  another. 


249 


APPENDIX  I 


II.  THE  CHAPTER  DIVISIONS  IN  THE  OUTLINE. 

In  the  Analytical  Outline  the  Parts  are  divided  into  chapters.  The  pur¬ 
pose  of  these  chapter  divisions  is  twofold :  first,  to  group  together  the  sections 
for  convenience  of  study;  and,  second,  to  recognize  the  existence  of  certain 
divisions  of  the  material,  intermediate  between  the  section  and  the  Part, 
which  in  some  portions  of  the  narrative  seem  to  have  been  in  the  mind  of  one 
or  another  of  the  gospel  writers  themselves.  Chapter  YII  perhaps  represents 
the  chapter  division  at  its  best :  the  events  of  sections  21-26  seem  manifestly 
to  constitute  in  the  mind  of  the  evangelist  himself  a  distinct  portion  of  his 
book.  Chapter  XIII  furnishes  nearly  as  good  an  illustration  :  a  careful  reader 
of  the  synoptists  can  hardly  fail  to  see  that  in  Mark  2:1 — 3:6  the  evangelist 
has  given  a  rapid  sketch  of  the  development  of  the  hostility  of  the  scribes  and 
Pharisees  to  Jesus.  The  section  inserted  here  from  the  fourth  gospel  does  not 
interrupt  the  course  of  events,  but  only  presents  another  stage  in  the  develop¬ 
ment  sketched  by  the  synoptists.  It  seems  desirable  to  recognize  these  facts  by 
grouping  these  sections  into  a  chapter.  These  chapter  divisions  in  general,  how¬ 
ever,  are  chiefly  useful  when  the  eye  can  take  in  at  one  vision  the  relation  of  the 
chapter  on  the  one  hand  to  the  Part,  and  on  the  other  to  the  section.  For  this 
reason  the  chapter  titles,  though  included  in  the  Outline,  are  omitted  from  the 
body  of  the  book. 


III.  THE  SECTIONS  OF  THE  HARMONY. 

The  limits  of  the  sections  have  also  been  determined  in  accordance  with 
our  general  principle.  A  detailed  explanation  of  its  application  to  individual 
l.  The  Limits  cases  is  neither  practicable  within  reasonable  limits,  nor  neces- 
of  the  Sections  sarv.  The  sections  have  been  made  to  begin  where  there  was 
reason  to  believe  that  the  gospel  writer  himself  intended  to  pass  to  a  new 
division  of  the  subject,  and  to  include  the  material  referred  by  the  evangelist 
to  a  single  occasion  or  treated  as  constituting  a  single  discourse.  A  section 
begins  in  the  midst  of  a  paragraph  only  when  required  by  a  difference  of 
paragraphing  in  the  different  gospels.  But  two  instances  of  this  occur.  It 
has  seemed  necessary  to  run  the  line  separating  sections  75  and  76  through 
what  in  Luke  is  but  one  paragraph,  following  in  this  the  strongly  marked 
paragraphing  of  Matthew  and  Mark.  For  similar  reasons,  a  paragraph  of 
Luke  has  been  divided  between  sections  133  and  134. 


250 


PRINCIPLES  AND  METHODS  OF  CONSTRUCTION 


The  order  in  which  the  sections  have  been  placed  has  been  determined  by 
the  principle  stated  in  the  opening  paragraph  of  this  Appendix.  The  order  of 
2t  order  the  evangelists  has  been  followed  except  when  a  difference 

of  Sections  between  two  gospels  compels  a  departure  from  the  order  of  one 

or  the  other  of  them  in  order  to  bring  into  the  same  section  corresponding 
material  occurring  in  the  different  gospels. 

Only  when  the  parallelism  of  the  gospels  affords  no  criterion  have  we 
resorted  to  any  other  principle.  In  the  arrangement  of  the  two  narra¬ 
tives  of  the  birth  and  early  years  of  Jesus,  for  example,  and  in  the 
placing  of  certain  sections  of  the  Johannine  narrative  to  which  there  is 
no  parallel  in  the  synoptic  gospels,  we  have  been  obliged  to  appeal  to 
other  considerations,  and  have  adopted  that  arrangement  which  seems  to 
yield  the  most  probable  order  of  events,  or  which  best  satisfies  the  docu¬ 
mentary  data,  however  meager  these  may  sometimes  be.  The  succession  of 
events  thus  obtained  can  in  some  instances,  notably  in  the  adjustment  of 
the  Lucan  narrative  of  the  Perean  ministry  to  the  fourth  gospel,  make  no 
high  claim  to  intiinsic  probability. 


In  order  to  adhere  more  faithfully  to  this  principle,  in  the  present  edition,  we  have  in 
two  instances  transferred  material  from  one  section  to  another.  Luke  11: 14-36,  which  in 
the  first  edition  stood  in  section  55,  placed  there  because  of  its  partial  parallelism  with  Mark 
3:19-30,  has  been  incorporated  in  section  94,  the  position  required  by  Luke’s  order.  Matt. 
11:20-30,  which  in  the  first  edition  stood  in  section  87,  placed  there  because  of  the  partial 
parallelism  of  the  material  with  Luke  10:12-23,  has  been  transferred  to  section  52,  the 
position  required  by  the  order  of  the  first  gospel,  in  which  this  passage  is  contained.  The 
parallelism  between  this  passage  and  Luke  10: 12-23,  in  respect  to  discourse  material  (section 
87),  is  shown  in  the  method  regularly  adopted  for  the  Repeated  Sayings. 


We  have  applied  to  paragraphs  within  a  section  the  same  principle  that 
we  have  followed  in  determining  the  order  of  sections.  The  order  of  the 

evangelists  has  been  departed  from  only  when  a  difference 

3.  Order  of  Para-  &  ^ 

graphs  within  the  between  them  has  compelled  the  modification  of  the  order  of 
Sectl0n  one  of  them,  in  order  to  bring  paragraphs  of  similar  con¬ 

tent  into  parallelism.  The  only  instances  of  such  transposition  of  paragraphs 
within  a  section  occur  in  sections  133  and  138. 


In  the  narrative  of  the  Last  Supper,  section  133,  Luke’s  account  of  the  strife  among 
the  Twelve,  22 : 24-30,  which  in  the  first  edition  stood  before  verses  19-23,  is  in  the  present 
edition  placed  after  verse  23,  the  arrangement  being  thus  more  nearly  conformed  to  the  order 


251 


APPENDIX  I 


of  Luke.  Had  we  conceived  it  to  be  our  task  to  arrange  the  events  of  this  section  in  what 
we  might  reasonably  believe  to  be  the  probable  order  of  their  occurrence,  as  do  most  har¬ 
monists  and  writers  on  the  Life  of  Christ,  we  should  doubtless  have  adopted  a  different 
arrangement.  Fidelity  to  the  principles  which  we  have  followed  constrained  us,  however,  to 
adopt  that  arrangement  which  involves  the  least  disturbance  of  the  order  of  Luke  consistent 
with  the  placing  of  his  narrative  in  parallelism  with  that  of  the  other  gospels. 

The  same  general  principle  of  preserving  as  far  as  possible  the  structure 
of  each  gospel,  as  well  as  our  judgment  that  it  is  important  that  the  gospel 
4.  Paragraphs  history  should  be  read  by  paragraphs,  not  by  verses,  has  led  us 
Retained  intact  to  keep  paragraphs  intact,  and  to  abandon  the  plan  adopted  in 
those  harmonies  which  make  it  a  matter  of  chief  importance  that  similar 
sentences  or  even  phrases  stand  opposite  one  another  on  the  page.  This  plan 
involves  indefinite  dissection  of  the  gospel  narratives,  and  is  then  only  partially 
successful  in  exhibiting  their  parallelism  in  details.  For  the  purpose  of  this 
Harmony,  which  is  planned  with  a  view  to  the  historical  study  of  the  gospels, 
we  have  thought  it  wiser  to  be  content  in  general  with  placing  parallel  para¬ 
graphs  opposite  one  another,  leaving  it  to  the  student  to  make  the  more  detailed 
comparison  himself. 

This  method  is  the  more  necessary  because  there  are  many  different  kinds 
of  parallelism,  even  when  sections  or  paragraphs  in  the  different  gospels  mani¬ 
festly  refer  to  the  same  events  or  discourses.  This  arises  from  the  fact  that 
the  various  writers  differ  widely  in  style  and  in  their  method  of  narration.  No 
printed  page  can  adequately  exhibit  the  exact  character  of  the  parallelism 
between  paragraphs  of  dissimilar  scope  and  structure.  Sometimes  several  inci¬ 
dents  in  a  paragraph  of  one  gospel  seem  to  have  little  relation  to  those  narrated 
in  a  paragraph  of  another,  when  nevertheless  both  paragraphs  relate  what  may 
be  called  comprehensively  one  event.  For  example,  Matthew  relates  that  early 
on  the  resurrection  morning  Jesus  appeared  to  Mary  Magdalene  and  to  the 
other  Mary,  while  John  speaks  only  of  Mary  Magdalene.  We  have  placed 
these  accounts  in  general  parallelism,  not  attempting  to  draw  out  the  details  of 
those  early  appearances  to  the  women  into  a  minute  chronological  arrangement 
for  which  the  gospels  afford  no  data.  The  proper  function  of  the  harmony  is 
served,  if  its  page  exhibits  whatever  parallelism  there  is  in  the  accounts  them¬ 
selves.  The  denials  of  Peter,  which  occurred  during  the  progress  of  Christ’s 
trial,  are  properly  treated  in  a  similar  way. 


252 


PRINCIPLES  AND  METHODS  OF  CONSTRUCTION 


In  cases  of  unequal  paragraphing  in  different  gospels — that  is,  when 
matter  contained  in  two  or  more  paragraphs  in  one  of  the  gospels  is  in  another 
.  f  gospel,  by  reason  of  different  treatment,  brought  together  into 
Paragraphs  one  paragraph — it  has  sometimes  been  necessary  to  introduce 

within  the  Section  jqank  Spaces  dividing  the  more  condensed  account  into  parts 

corresponding  to  the  paragraphs  of  the  parallel  account;  see,  for  example,  sec¬ 
tion  139.  Such  spacing  has  also  occasionally  been  employed  to  bring  clearly 
marked  subdivisions  of  corresponding  paragraphs  opposite  one  another;  see, 
for  example,  section  143.  In  all  cases  where  the  space  thus  introduced  into  a 
paragraph  exceeds  a  very  few  lines,  attention  is  called  to  the  continuance  of  the 
paragraph  further  on  by  the  insertion  in  small  type  of  the  words,  “  Paragraph 
continued  below,”  or  a  similar  phrase. 

In  sections  133  and  138  not  only  spacing  but  slight  transposition  of  material 
within  the  paragraph  has  been  necessary  in  order  to  bring  evidently  parallel 

6u  Transposition  narratives  opposite  one  another.  At  each  point  at  which  by^ 
within  Paragraphs  reason  of  this  transposition  a  paragraph  is  interrupted,  a  note 

has  been  inserted  showing  where  the  remainder  of  the  paragraph  is  to  be  found. 

When  parallel  material  could  not  be  brought  together  without  doing  vio¬ 
lence  to  the  structure  of  one  account  or  the  other,  we  have  left  each  paragraph 
7.  Cross-  intact  as  the  evangelist  wrote  it,  but  have  frequently  inserted 

References  a  reference  in  the  parallel  column  to  indicate  where  the  similar 

material  of  the  parallel  accounts  is  to  be  found.  This  method  is  illustrated  in 
sections  139  and  140. 

IV.  REPETITION  OF  MATERIAL. 

An  adequate  exhibit  of  the  parallelism  of  the  gospels  requires  the  repetition 
of  certain  portions  of  the  gospel  text,  but  demands  also  that  the  fact  of  such  repe¬ 
tition  shall  be  indicated.  This  necessity  pertains  to  both  narratives  and  sayings , 
but  demands  in  general  a  different  treatment  of  the  two  kinds  of  material. 

Narrative  material,  when  repeated,  is  in  general  placed  in  the  parallel 
columns  in  both  instances  of  its  occurrence;  its  repetition  is  in  every  such 
l  Narrative  case  indicated  by  brackets  [  ]  or  half -brackets  r  h  The  brack  - 

Material  ets  are  omitted  only  in  the  exceptional  cases,  mentioned  below, 

in  which  the  repeated  material  is  given  the  form  of  a  footnote.  The  narrative 
passages  that  are  used  more  than  once  are  of  several  classes. 

253 


APPENDIX  I 


In  the  first  class  of  cases,  in  consequence  of  condensation  in  the  narrative, 
a  single  sentence  or  paragraph  covers  two  distinct  events  or  historical  occa¬ 
sions,  separated  perhaps  by  some  distance  of  time.  In  this  class  of  cases 
it  is  necessary  that  certain  portions  of  the  record  be  repeated  in  order  to  bring 
the  paragraph  or  verse  into  connection  with  both  the  occasions  to  which  it 
refers.  The  repeated  material  is  placed  in  half-brackets  in  the  instance  in 
which  it  is  detached  from  the  paragraph  connection  given  it  by  the  evangelists. 
The  instances  of  this  use  of  half-brackets  occur  in  sections  9,  15,  19,  31,  40, 
47,  48,  80,  121,  131,  136,  138. 

In  the  second  class  of  cases  two  gospels  containing  practically  identical 
accounts  of  the  same  event  locate  this  event  differently,  yet  each  attaches  it  by 
introductory  or  concluding  words  to  the  context  in  which  it  stands.  In  this 
case  it  is  necessary  to  repeat  the  introductory  or  concluding  sentence,  in  order 
at  the  one  point  to  preserve  the  logical  connection — to  the  extent,  that  is,  of 
presenting  each  entire  paragraph  as  we  judge  the  writer  conceived  it  in  his  own 
mind — and  at  the  other  to  show  the  more  probable  historical  position  of  the 
event.  The  repeated  matter  is  placed  in  half-brackets  in  the  instance  in  which 
it  is  detached  from  the  paragraph  of  which  it  was  a  part,  its  insertion  at  this 
point  representing  the  historical  place  of  the  event  as  indicated  by  a  comparison 
of  the  gospels.  In  the  other  instance  of  its  occurrence — namely,  when  it  is 
retained  in  the  paragraph  to  which  it  belongs  but  is  by  such  retention  detached 
from  its  more  probable  historical  position — it  is  placed  in  full  brackets.  The 
pairs  of  instances  falling  under  this  head  are  in  sections  34  and  37,  sections 
40  and  49,  sections  41  and  60,  sections  58  and  86,  sections  120  and  122,  sec¬ 
tions  138  and  139.  In  one  instance  (Matt.  1:18-25)  a  paragraph  containing 
material  belonging  to  two  different  points  of  the  history,  yet  blended  inextri¬ 
cably  into  a  single  narrative,  has  been  repeated  entire,  being  placed  in  half¬ 
brackets  in  the  second  instance  of  its  occurrence,  this  being  the  position  called 
for  by  the  parallelism  of  a  portion  of  the  narrative  with  the  account  in  Luke. 

In  a  third  class  of  cases,  narratives  of  events  which  on  the  authority  of 
the  evangelists  must  be  assigned  to  distinctly  different  chronological  positions 
are,  for  purposes  of  comparison,  repeated.  In  the  instance  in  which  the  narra¬ 
tive  occupies  a  position  other  than  that  given  it  by  the  evangelists,  it  is  printed 
in  smaller  type  and  placed  between  brackets  in  parallel  columns  with  the  narra- 


254

PRINCIPLES  AND  METHODS  OF  CONSTRUCTION 


tive  with  which  it  is  to  be  compared;  the  repetition  at  this  point  being  for 
purposes  of  comparison,  and  involving  no  pronouncement  upon  the  identity  of 
the  two  events.  The  three  pairs  of  instances  falling  under  this  head  are  in 
sections  27  and  121,  sections  36  and  62,  sections  55  and  94.  The  adoption  of 
this  expedient  in  the  present  edition  is  an  extension  to  similar  narratives  of 
the  method  applied  in  the  first  edition  to  the  Repeated  Sayings  of  Jesus. 
Theoretically  the  same  principle  would  apply  to  the  narratives  of  section  38. 
But  the  slight  difference  in  location  makes  it  seem  more  expedient  in  this  case 
to  avoid  repetition  by  a  slight  modification  of  Luke’s  order. 

In  a  fourth  class  of  cases  the  event  or  period  to  which  a  section  refers  is 
spoken  of  incidentally  or  by  way  of  explanation,  yet  so  as  to  add  important 
data,  in  a  section  dealing  in  the  main  with  an  entirely  different  event.  In  these 
cases  we  have  placed  this  contributory  material  in  the  form  of  a  footnote  at 
the  bottom  of  the  page.  The  only  instances  of  this  method  of  treatment  are 
in  sections  15  and  34. 

The  sayings  of  Christ  assigned  by  the  different  evangelists  to  different 
occasions  demand  special  consideration,  furnishing,  as  they  do,  one  of  the  most 
2.  Repeated  difficult,  and  at  the  same  time  one  of  the  most  important,  prob- 

Sayings  lems  of  the  harmony.  It  should  be  observed  that,  in  the  report 

of  the  sayings  and  discourses  of  Jesus,  there  are  two  kinds  of  parallelism. 
The  same  saying,  or  series  of  sayings,  may  be  reported  by  two  evangelists 
in  the  same  historical  connection,  as  in  Matt.  16:25  and  Luke  9:24;  or  it  may 
be  reported  by  both,  but  assigned  to  different  historical  occasions,  as  in 
Matt.  16:25  and  Luke  17:33;  or  it  may  even  be  reported  by  the  same  evan¬ 
gelist  in  two  different  connections,  as  in  Matt.  10:39  and  16:25.  In  the  first 
class  of  cases  we  have  only  the  ordinary  question  of  harmony,  such  as  arises 
in  the  treatment  of  narrative  material  also.  The  second  and  third  classes, 
however,  present  a  different  problem.  It  cannot  be  maintained  that  every  one 
of  these  sayings  was  repeatedly  uttered  by  Jesus;  it  would  be  rash  to  say  that 
in  no  case  were  sayings  repeated;  it  would  require  a  keen  critic  indeed  to 
determine  in  each  case  whether  the  saying  was  repeated  by  Jesus  on  different 
occasions,  or  only  differently  placed  by  the  evangelists;  and,  if  the  latter,  on 
which  of  the  two  or  more  occasions  to  which  it  is  assigned  it  was  really  uttered. 
It  has  therefore  seemed  best  not  to  undertake  to  solve  this  problem,  but  rather 


255 


APPENDIX  I 


to  exhibit  the  facts  as  fully  as  possible,  and  with  the  smallest  possible  admix¬ 
ture  of  theory.  We  have  accordingly  adopted  a  method  by  which  every  say¬ 
ing  of  Jesus  is  retained  in  the  place  or  places  to  which  each  evangelist  assigns 
it,  and  at  the  same  time  all  its  parallels,  if  any,  even  those  in  the  same  gospel, 
are  shown  on  the  same  page  with  it,  their  position  in  the  gospels  and  their 
location  in  the  Harmony  being  also  indicated.  This  method  is  more  fully 
explained  in  Appendix  II,  which  also  contains  a  full  table  of  the  sayings  of 
Christ  assigned  by  the  evangelist  to  more  than  one  occasion. 

V.  USE  OF  THE  REVISED  VERSION. 

With  the  consent  and  approval  of  the  Oxford  and  Cambridge  University 
Presses  of  England,  courteously  granted  to  us,  we  have,  as  in  the  former  edi¬ 
tions,  employed  the  text  of  the  English  Revision  of  1881  in  the  body  of  the 
book.  While  at  many  points  we  should  have  been  glad  to  modify  the  text  of 
this  version,  or  its  margin,  it  has  seemed  best  to  adopt  it  without  change  or 
comment  other  than  the  occasional  modification  of  its  paragraphs.  These 
changes  in  the  limits  of  the  paragraphs  have  been  made,  not  in  a  harmonistic 
interest,  but  on  independent  grounds.  The  marginal  readings  of  this  version 
are  shown  in  the  margin  at  the  foot  of  the  page  immediately  below  the  text. 
A  second  margin  shows  the  renderings  incorporated  by  the  American  Revision 
Committee  in  the  text  of  the  American  Revision  of  1901.  We  have  not, 
however,  undertaken  to  show  differences  between  the  English  and  American 
editions  affecting  punctuation  and  spelling  only,  or  the  marginal  readings  of 
the  American  Revision.  We  acknowledge  with  appreciation  the  courtesy  of 
Thomas  Nelson  &  Sons,  owners  of  the  copyright  (1901)  of  the  American 
Standard  Revised  Bible,  in  thus  permitting  the  use  of  this  edition. 

The  superior  figures  prefixed  to  words  in  the  text  refer  to  the  marginal 
readings  of  the  English  Revision ;  those  affixed  refer  to  the  readings  of  the  text 
of  the  American  Revision. 

The  two  passages,  John  7:53 — 8:1  and  Mark  16:9-20,  which,  though 
contained  in  the  Revised  Version,  are  by  the  soundest  criticism  not  regarded 
as  belonging  properly  to  the  gospels  in  connection  with  which  they  stand, 
seem  to  call  for  special  treatment.  Both  are  accordingly  set  in  smaller  type 
than  the  other  portions  of  the  text. 


256 


PRINCIPLES  AND  METHODS  OF  CONSTRUCTION 


VI.  ARRANGEMENT  IN  COLUMNS. 

In  the  arrangement  of  the  material  on  the  page  the  effort  has  been  rather 
to  make  a  perspicuous  and  easily  intelligible  page  than  to  economize  space. 
In  sections  in  which  there  is  but  one  gospel  authority  the  text  is  printed  in  one 
wide  column.  When  the  authorities  are  two  or  more  of  the  synoptists,  and  there 
is  no  account  from  the  fourth  gospel,  three  parallel  columns  are  used,  one  being 
left  blank  if  there  are  but  two  accounts.  If  the  account  is  contained  in  John 
and  in  the  synoptists,  four  columns  are  used,  one  for  each  gospel.  In  general 
the  same  width  of  column  is  maintained  throughout  the  section.  In  sections 
94,  127,  131,  134,  where,  for  a  large  portion  of  the  section,  there  is  but  one 
authority,  a  change  from  the  narrow  to  the  broad  column  is  permitted,  to  avoid 
several  successive  pages  containing  but  one  narrow  column. 

VII.  RECAPITULATION  OF  TYPOGRAPHICAL  FEATURES. 

For  the  practical  convenience  of  the  student,  it  may  be  desirable  to 
recapitulate  briefly  the  significance  of  those  typographical  features  of  the  book 
which  are  not  obviously  self-explanatory. 

1.  Columns.  When  a  section  is  printed  in  four  columns,  this  indicates 
that  for  some  portion  of  that  section  there  is  material  from  the  gospel  of  John 
and  from  two  or  more  of  the  synoptic  gospels. 

When  there  are  three  columns,  this  indicates  that  matter  for  this  sec¬ 
tion  is  found  in  two  or  more  of  the  synoptists,  the  fourth  gospel  furnishing 
no  account. 

There  are  no  two-column  pages. 

When  there  is  but  one  column,  there  is  but  one  authority  for  any  portion 
of  the  section,  which  may  be  any  one  of  the  four  gospels.  But  concerning 
sections  94,  127,  131,  134,  see  vi,  above. 

2.  Brackets.  Two  kind  of  brackets  are  used,  half-brackets  and  'full  brack¬ 
ets.  That  a  passage  is  inclosed  either  in  half -brackets  or  in  full  brackets  indi¬ 
cates  that  it  is  repeated  at  some  other  point  on  the  page  of  the  Harmony. 

a)  Half-brackets  indicate  that  the  words  so  inclosed  are  detached  from 
the  paragraph  of  which  they  form  a  part,  in  order  to  place  them  in  the 
chronological  position  indicated  by  a  comparison  of  the  different  accounts. 
But  concerning  Matt.  1:18-25,  see  iv,  1,  in  this  Appendix. 


257 


APPENDIX  I 


b)  Full  brackets  are  used  for  three  purposes: 

(1)  They  inclose  words  necessary  to  complete  a  paragraph,  but  repeated 
elsewhere  in  their  more  probable  chronological  position. 

(2)  They  inclose  narrative  passages  repeated  simply  for  purposes  of 
comparison. 

(3)  They  inclose  certain  of  the  longer  Repeated  Sayings,  printed  in 
parallel  columns  instead  of  at  the  foot  of  the  page  for  the  sake  of  easier 
comparison. 

To  the  student  who  is  seeking  simply  to  frame  a  narrative  of  the  life  of 
Jesus,  section  by  section,  the  following  practical  rule  may  be  useful:  Use  in 
each  section  all  unbracketed  material  and  all  material  in  half -brackets ;  omit 
for  this  purpose  material  in  full  brackets;  this  is  added  either  to  complete  a 
paragraph  or  for  purposes  of  comparison. 

3.  Footnotes.  There  are  four  kinds  of  footnotes. 

a)  Superior  figures  prefixed  to  a  word  or  phrase  in  the  text  refer  to 
the  marginal  readings  of  the  Revised  Version  of  1881.  These  are  reprinted 
without  change,  except  as  required  by  the  arrangement  of  the  figures.  They 
are  preceded  by  the  abbreviation:  ERV.  mg.  In  the  comparatively  few 
instances  in  which,  by  the  transposition  of  a  reference  figure  from  the  end  to 
the  beginning  of  a  word  (in  order  to  distinguish  these  readings  from  those  of 
the  American  Revision),  the  meaning  of  the  note  is  obscured,  we  have  removed 
the  obscurity  by  the  insertion  of  explanatory  words  in  the  note,  inclosing  them 
in  brackets. 

b)  Superior  figures  affixed  to  a  word  or  phrase  in  the  text  refer  to  the 
renderings  adopted  by  the  American  Revision  Committee  and  incorporated  in 
the  text  of  the  American  Revision  of  1901.  They  are  preceded  by  the 
abbreviation :  ARV.  txt. 

c)  Superior  letters  in  the  text  refer  to  the  Repeated  Sayings  of  J esus,  that 
is,  to  sayings  of  Christ  similar  to  those  standing  in  the  text,  but  reported  in  a 
different  connection.  The  number  in  parenthesis  at  the  end  of  the  footnote 
indicates  the  section  in  which  the  passage  appears  in  the  body  of  the  text. 
When  the  footnote  contains  only  a  reference  by  chapter  and  verse  without  text 
or  section  number,  the  passage  referred  to  belongs,  not  to  another  section, 
but  to  another  part  of  the  same  section. 


258 


PRINCIPLES  AND  METHODS  OF  CONSTRUCTION 


d )  A  few  necessary  footnotes  not  included  in  either  of  the  above  classes 
are  indicated  by  asterisks.  See  IV,  1,  fourth  class. 

4.  Smaller  Type  in  the  Text.  Smaller  type  has  been  used  in  the 
body  of  the  text,  in  sections  83,  143,  145,  146,  149,  150,  for  material  not 
regarded  as  a  genuine  part  of  the  Gospel  under  which  it  is  cited.  It  is  also 
used  in  sections  27,  36,  55,  62,  94,  121  for  narrative  matter  repeated  for  the 
sake  of  comparison  only;  and  in  sections  49,  52,  55,  57,  64,  81,  94,  124,  131  for 
the  Repeated  Sayings  that  are  printed  in  the  parallel  columns  for  the  sake  of 
easier  comparison. 

5.  Section  Numbers  Subjoined  to  Sections  or  Shorter  Passages. 
Of  these  there  are  two  kinds: 

a)  A  section  number  in  parenthesis  placed  at  the  end  of  a  passage,  with¬ 
out  preceding  sign,  refers  to  the  section  from  which  the  passage  is  taken. 

b)  A  section  number  preceded  by  the  sign  -j-,  and  inclosed  in  parenthesis, 
reters  the  reader  to  that  section  of  the  Harmony  in  which  will  be  found  the 
paragraph  which,  in  the  gospel  itself,  immediately  follows  the  passage  to  which 
the  number  is  attached. 


259 


APPENDIX  II. 


SAYINGS  OF  CHRIST  ASSIGNED  BY  THE  EVANGELISTS  TO  MORE 

THAN  ONE  OCCASION. 

To  the  student  of  the  gospels  it  is  a  matter  of  special  interest  to  deter¬ 
mine  the  historical  situation  of  the  sayings  of  Christ.  This  portion  of  his 
task,  however,  is  complicated  by  the  fact  that  many  of  these  sayings  are  given 
by  the  different  gospels  in  substantially  the  same  form,  but  in  entirely  different 
historical  situations.  In  a  few  instances  the  same  passage  even  occurs  more 
than  once  in  the  same  gospel.  In  the  present  state  of  knowledge  respecting 
the  way  in  which  our  four  gospels  were  produced  it  is  impossible  to  determine 
with  certainty  in  each  case  on  which  of  two  or  more  occasions  a  given  saying 
was  uttered,  or  whether  on  more  than  one  occasion.  In  the  preceding  Appendix 
we  have  explained  our  method  of  dealing  with  these  cases.  In  no  case  have  we 
detached  a  paragraph  of  Christ’s  sayings  from  the  historical  situation  given  it 
by  the  evangelist,  or  dissected  what  is  given  in  the  gospels  as  a  discourse,  in 
order  to  bring  similar  discourse  material  into  the  same  section.  In  thus 
assigning  more  than  one  historical  situation  to  similar  or  practically  identical 
sayings,  we  by  no  means  maintain  that  all  of  them  were  spoken  more  than 
once.  We  simply  maintain  that  in  the  present  state  of  New  Testament  criticism 
it  is  impossible  to  determine  to  which  historical  situation  each  of  the  parallel 
sayings  belongs,  and  which  of  them  were  actually  repeated  on  more  than  one 
occasion. 

The  following  table  is  designed  to  exhibit  this  parallelism  in  the  discourses 
of  Christ.  Under  each  section  of  the  table  the  figures  in  bold-face  type 
designate  passages  which  belong  to  the  corresponding  section  of  the  Harmony. 
The  figures  in  lighter-face  type  designate  passages  which  are  assigned  by  the 
evangelists  to  a  different  historical  occasion,  yet  are  closely  parallel  in  thought 
and  language  to  the  passages  opposite  which  they  stand  in  this  table.  In  the 
case  of  parallel  passages  occurring  in  the  same  gospel  we  have  placed  the 
citations  in  the  same  column  connected  by  a  brace.  Any  passage  cited  in 


260 


REPEATED  SAYINGS  OF  CHRIST 


bold-face  type  under  a  given  section  in  the  table  will  be  found  in  the  corre¬ 
sponding  section  of  the  Harmony,  while  the  passages  cited  in  lighter-face  type 
will  be  found  at  the  foot  of  the  page  under  the  same  section,  except  that  a 
few  of  the  longer  passages  of  the  latter  class  have  been  printed  in  the  parallel 
columns  inclosed  in  brackets. 

When  a  saying  occurs  at  two  distinctly  different  points  in  the  same  section, 
either  by  being  repeated  in  the  same  account,  or  by  being  placed  in  different 
connections  in  parallel  accounts,  cross-reference  is  made  in  the  Harmony  from 
each  passage  to  the  other.  The  footnote  in  such  a  case,  however,  consists  of 
reference  only,  and  does  not  include  the  text  of  the  passage  referred  to.  See, 
for  example,  pages  64  and  87.  These  cases  do  not  appear  in  the  table  unless 
the  passage  is  also  repeated  in  a  different  section. 

It  will  be  observed  that  there  are  at  least  forty  discourses  of  Christ, 
shorter  or  longer,  which  contain  parallel  matter  of  the  kind  above  described. 
A  typical  and  interesting  instance  of  discourse  parallelism  is  found  in  the 
parables  of  the  sheep  gone  astray,  in  section  81,  and  of  the  lost  sheep,  in 
section  102.  Section  64,  the  mission  of  the  Twelve,  illustrates  the  wide  dis¬ 
tribution  in  the  other  gospels  of  matter  which  forms  one  discourse  in  Matthew. 
And,  to  add  one  more  instance,  the  often-quoted  text,  “He  that  findeth  his 
life  shall  lose  it;  and  he  that  loseth  his  life  for  my  sake  shall  find  it,”  occurs 
in  slightly  varied  forms  six  times,  and  is  assigned  by  the  evangelists  to  four 
different  historical  situations. 

This  exhibit  of  the  parallelism  in  Christ’s  discourses,  in  the  following  table 
as  well  as  on  the  page  of  the  Harmony,  will  be  serviceable  in  many  ways  in  the 
study  of  the  teachings  of  Christ.  Thus  it  will  enable  the  student  to  note  at  a 
glance  the  various  contexts  in  which  many  of  the  sayings  of  Jesus  are  found.. 
It  will  also  serve  to  throw  light  upon  the  difficult  problem  of  the  process 
by  which  the  discourses  of  Jesus  received  their  present  form. 

It  should  be  particularly  observed  that  the  list  does  not  undertake  to 
include  all  the  sayings  of  Christ  of  which  there  is  more  than  one  report  in  the 
gospels,  but  only  those  which  are  assigned  by  the  evangelists  to  more  than 
one  historical  situation.

APPENDIX  IT. 


METHOD  OF  STUDY. 

SUGGESTIONS  TO  TEACHEES  AND  STUDENTS. 

The  aim  determines  the  method.  The  Life  of  Christ  is  a  chapter  of  the 
world's  history,  and  is  to  be  studied  first  of  all  historically.  The  object  of  the 
study  which  the  present  Harmony  is  designed  to  facilitate  is  to  gain  a  knowledge 
of  the  events  of  the  life  of  Jesus  as  these  are  presented  to  us  in  the  four  gospels, 
and  to  form  a  true  conception  of  the  historical  relations  of  this  life.  In  other 
words,  it  aims  to  read  this  life  in  the  true  relation  of  its  events  to  each  other,  and 
against  the  background  of  the  history  of  the  times.  To  accomplish  this:  — 

1.  Study  the  historical  background.  The  gospel  writers  assume  that  their 
readers  have  some  knowledge  of  the  times  of  which  they  write.  Such  knowledge 
we  must  acquire,  if  we  would  read  the  gospel  history  intelligently.  In  particular : — 

o)  Become  acquainted  with  the  history  of  the  New  Testament  period,  not 
only  of  the  Roman  government  and  the  Gentile  world  in  general,  but  especially 
of  Jewish  life  and  thought  in  Palestine.  A  bare  skeleton  of  the  leading  events 
of  Jewish  history  is  shown  in  the  table  on  pp.  281,  282,  and  the  diagram  on  p. 
283.  This  skeleton  should  be  filled  out  by  further  reading. 

6)  Study  the  geography  of  Palestine,  becoming  familiar  with  its  main 
physical  features,  its  political  divisions,  its  chief  localities. 

2.  Memorize  the  material.  The  facts  of  this  history  are  by  reason  of 
their  transcendent  importance  well  worthy  of  all  necessary  effort  to  fix  them 
in  memory.  Moreover,  the  facts  appear  in  their  true  relations  only  to  him 
who  has  acquired  an  easy  command  of  them  as  facts.  In  particular :  — 

a)  Learn  the  full  title  of  each  of  the  nine  Parts  into  which  the  life  of 
Jesus  is  divided  in  the  Outline.  Let  this  be  done  at  the  outset,  thus  fixing  in 
mind  at  the  beginning  the  general  framework  of  the  whole  gospel  narrative. 

b)  As  you  take  up  each  Part  or  chapter,  learn  the  order  of  events  in  that 
Tart  or  chapter.  Some  will  perhaps  prefer  to  learn  only  the  chapter-titles, 
others  only  the  section-titles.  Better  than  either  of  these  is  to  learn  both 
chapter-titles  and  section-titles. 

c)  From  the  Scripture  passages  cited  under  each  section,  master  the  his¬ 
torical  substance  of  the  section — all  the  more  important  facts  therein  narrated. 
Where  there  are  two  or  more  accounts  it  is  best  to  select  the  narrative  of  one 

278 


APPENDIX  IV 


of  the  gospels  as  the  basis,  and  then  compare  the  other  accounts  with  this  one. 
Except  in  the  case  of  brief  passages  of  special  importance  it  is  not  necessary  to 
commit  the  passage  to  memory  verbally.  What  is  important  to  fix  in  mind  is 
not  the  words,  but  the  facts.  Of  the  long  discourses  only  the  central  thought 
or  general  outline  can  be  learned  in  this  study. 

3.  Organize  the  material.  History  is  not  a  succession  of  disconnected  events, 
but  an  organicunity.  It  is  this  unity  which  we  seek  toconstruct.  In  particular : — 

a)  Connect  the  successive  events  together  as  far  as  possible  into  a  con¬ 
tinuous  narrative. 

b)  Locate  each  event  geographically,  and  trace  the  journeys  of  J esus  from 
point  to  point. 

c)  Make  frequent  reviews  from  the  beginning,  especially  by  naming  in 
order  the  Parts,  chapters,  and  sections,  and  by  tracing  the  movements  of 
Jesus  by  means  of  a  map. 

d )  Endeavor  as  a  result  of  these  various  lines  of  study  to  acquire  a  clearly 
defined  conception  of  the  external  life  of  our  Lord  in  its  historical  setting,  in 
its  chronological  order,  and  in  its  organic  unity,  and,  so  far  as  may  be,  of  the 
inner  life  also — his  mental  and  spiritual  history. 

Observe  that  this  task,  though  large,  has  its  limits.  The  interpretation  of 
Christ’s  discourses  as  such,  the  formulation  of  his  doctrines,  the  application  of 
his  principles  to  questions  of  personal  duty  and  of  modern  life,  are  tasks  for 
which  our  present  study  will  lay  secure  foundations,  but  which  are  not  included 
in  the  study  of  the  Life  of  Christ,  as  that  study  is  now  ordinarily  defined. 

The  table  of  Sayings  of  Christ  assigned  by  the  evangelists  to  more  than 
one  historical  situation,  pp.  262-271,  will  be  useful  chiefly  in  this  advanced 
study  of  the  teaching  ©f  Christ. 

4.  Finally,  and  above  all,  seek  for  spiritual  sympathy  with  this  unique  person, 
and  for  spiritual  insight  into  this  unique  history.  The  Life  of  Christ  is  biogra¬ 
phy  ;  it  is  even  more  truly  history — the  history  of  a  great  spiritual  achievement. 
Alike  as  biography  and  as  history,  it  demands  for  its  true  understanding  sym¬ 
pathy  and  insight.  The  life  of  the  poet  and  the  career  of  the  statesman  can  be 
understood  only  by  him  who  brings  to  the  study  of  them  some  measure  of  sympa¬ 
thy  with  the  person  whose  life  is  studied,  some  power  of  insight  into  his  plan  and 
work.  It  is  not  less  true  respecting  Jesus  Christ.  The  life  and  work  of  him  who 
spake  as  never  man  spake,  and  lived  as  never  man  lived,  reveal  their  true  meaning 
only  to  him  who  comes  to  their  study  with  a  mind  open  to  the  beauty  and  power  of 
the  life,  and  to  the  grandeur  of  its  far-reaching  plan  for  the  redemption  of  our  race. 

279 


APPENDIX  V 


PRINCIPAL  DIVISIONS  OF  THE  LIFE  OF  CHRIST 

WITH  CALENDAR  DATES. 

Note.— The  chronology  of  the  life  of  Christ  cannot  be  definitely  fixed  throughout.  The  date  of  our  Lord’s 
birth  cannot  be  later  than  the  early  part  of  b.  c.  4,  nor  much  earlier.  With  a  somewhat  less  degree  of  certainty 
A.  D.  30  is  fixed  as  the  year  of  the  crucifixion.  Respecting  the  length  of  the  public  ministry,  especially  as 
between  the  so-called  tripaschal  and  quadripaschal  schemes,  there  is  decided  disagreement  among  authorities. 
On  the  tripaschal  theory  there  were  but  three  passovers  in  the  course  of  the  ministry  of  Christ,  and  its  length 
was  about  two  and  a  half  years.  On  the  quadripaschal  theory  there  were  four  passovers,  and  the  ministry 
was  about  throe  and  a  half  years  in  length. 

The  Harmony  is  constructed  independently  of  any  chronological  theory.  For  the  convenience,  however, 
of  students  whose  study  of  the  Life  of  Jesus  will  be  facilitated  by  definitely  relating  its  events  to  contemporary 
history,  the  following  table  is  inserted.  It  shows  the  chronological  limits  of  the  various  periods  of  the  life  of 
Christ  on  the  basis  of  these  three  data,  namely,  the  Birth  not  far  from  the  end  of  b.  c.  5  or  the  beginning  of 
b.  c.  4,  the  Crucifixion  in  A.  D.  30,  the  Ministry  occupying  between  three  and  four  years. 

Part  I.  — THE  THIRTY  YEARS  OF  PRIVATE  LIFE:  From  the  Birth  of  Jesus  until  the  Coming 
of  John  the  Baptist.  From  B.  C.  5  to  the  Summer  of  A.  D.  26. 

Part  II.  — THE  OPENING  EVENTS  OF  CHRIST’S  MINISTRY:  From  the  Coming  of  John  the 

Baptist  until  the  Public  Appearance  of  Jesus  in  Jerusalem.  From  the  Summer  of  A.  D.  26 

to  the  Passover,  April  11,  A.D.  27. 

Part  III.  —  THE  EARLY  JUDEAN  MINISTRY :  From  the  Public  Appearance  of  Jesus  in  Jerusalem 
until  his  Return  to  Galilee.  From  the  Passover,  April  11,  A.  D.  27,  to  December,  A.  D.  27. 

Part  IV.  — FIRST  PERIOD  OF  THE  GALILEAN  MINISTRY:  From  the  Return  to  Galilee  until 
the  Choosing  of  the  Twelve.  From  December,  A.D.  27,  to  early  Summer,  A.D.  28. 

Part  V.  — SECOND  PERIOD  OF  THE  GALILEAN  MINISTRY:  From  the  Choosing  of  the  Twelve 

until  the  Withdrawal  into  Northern  Galilee.  From  early  Summer,  A.  D.  28,  to  the  Pass- 

over,  April  18,  A.D.  29. 

Part  VI.  — THIRD  PERIOD  OF  THE  GALILEAN  MINISTRY:  From  the  Withdrawal  into  Northern 
Galilee  until  the  Final  Departure  for  Jerusalem.  From  the  Passover,  April  18,  A.  D.  29, 
to  November,  A.D.  29. 

Part  VII.  — THE  PEREAN  MINISTRY:  From  the  Final  Departure  from  Galilee  until  the  Final  Arrival 
at  Jerusalem.  From  November,  A.D.  29,  to  the  Sunday  before  the  Passover,  April  2, 
A.  D.  30. 

Part  VIII.  —  THE  PASSION  WEEK:  From  the  Final  Arrival  at  Jerusalem  until  the  Resurrection. 
From  Sunday,  April  2,  to  Sunday,  April  9,  A.D.  30. 

Part  IX.  —  THE  FORTY  DAYS:  From  the  Resurrection  until  the  Ascension.  From  Sunday,  April  9, 
to  Thursday,  May  18,  A.D.  30.

The  Roman  general  Pompey,  being  appealed  to  by  both  Hyrcanus  and  Aristobulus,  sides 
with  Hyrcanus  and  Antipater,  and  captures  Jerusalem. 

Hyrcanus  II. 

Julius  Caesar  appoints  Antipater  procurator  of  Judea,  Hyrcanus  ethnarch  and  high  priest. 
Antipater  is  the  real  ruler.  He  appoints  his  son  Herod  governor  of  Galilee. 

Herod  is  appointed  by  the  Roman  Senate  king  of  Judea. 

» 

Herod  conquers  Antigonus,  son  of  Aristobulus  II.,  captures  Jerusalem  and  becomes  king 
in  fact.  Thus  the  Idumean  dynasty  supplants  the  Asmonean. 

Death  of  Herod.  His  kingdom  is  divided  among  his  sons. 

Archelaus,  ethnarch  of  Judea,  is  banished ;  Judea  becomes  an  equestrian  province  under  a 
procurator. 

Philip,  tetrarch  of  northeastern  Palestine,  dies,  and  his  territory  is  added  to  the  Roman 
province  of  Syria. 

Herod  Agrippa  I.  receives  the  territories  of  Philip  and  Lysanias,  and  the  title  of  king. 

Herod  Antipas  is  deposed  and  banished,  and  his  territory  (soon  after)  added  to  that  of 
Agrippa. 

Judea  is  also  given  to  Agrippa ;  all  Palestine  is  again  under  a  Herodian  prince. 

Agrippa  I.  dies,  and  all  Palestine  is  placed  under  a  Roman  procurator. 

Agrippa  II.  receives  the  territories  of  Philip  and  Lysanias,  and  the  title  of  king.  To  this 
territory  was  afterward  added  a  part  of  Galilee  and  Perea.  Southern  Palestine  remains
